Learn more by watching our Clipsal 238-WE | Solid Mounting Block 38MM Deep | White video.
The Clipsal 238-WE is a solid mounting block rated for 38mm depth, designed to protect electrical terminals and wiring in surface-mounted installations. The 238-WE features two 20mm cable entries for corrugated or rigid conduit, a single gang rectangular enclosure, and plastic construction with horizontal and vertical mounting flexibility. It complies with EU RoHS Directive requirements and is certified Mercury free.
Metal sheds, outdoor structures, and enclosed electrical installations frequently expose terminals and live wiring to mechanical damage, weather ingress, and animal contact. The 238-WE provides strong terminal protection in these high-risk environments, with a solid plastic body that resists water and weathering. Two 20mm conduit entries accommodate standard electrical conduit runs without requiring adapters or additional fittings.
Licensed electricians and contractors value the 238-WE as a cost-effective enclosure for field installations where equipment must withstand harsh outdoor conditions. The mounting block's 84mm mounting centres align with standard electrical outlet spacing, enabling quick assembly on site with no special tools or modifications. At under six dollars, the solid mounting block fits smaller jobs and renovation budgets while delivering the durability expected from Clipsal's standard range.
The Clipsal 238-WE is not suitable for direct rain exposure, submersion, splash zones, or external exposed locations. It is an interior or protected-installation product only, and should not be used in bathrooms, kitchens with water-splash risk, laundries, or outdoor weatherproof applications without additional protective enclosure.

(238-WE)
A standard wall box mounts inside the wall and houses the outlet completely. The Clipsal 238-WE mounts on the surface of metal, timber, or other backing and provides an enclosed container around terminals. The solid design protects live wiring and terminals from external mechanical contact, weather, and debris. It suits outdoor, metal shed, and pole-mounted installations where flush wall mounting is not possible.
Yes. The mounting block is supplied with two blank end caps. If you need only one 20mm conduit entry, install one cap on the unused entry and secure it with the supplied cap. This keeps the interior sealed and prevents moisture or debris from entering the unused side.
The 238-WE provides mechanical and terminal protection but is not weatherproof or IP-rated. It is suitable for protected installations (under cover, inside sheds, under eaves) and will resist normal shed-environment moisture, but is not rated for direct rain exposure, splash zones, or submersion. For outdoor weatherproof applications, use a dedicated IP-rated enclosure.
The solid mounting block has 84mm mounting centres, which align with standard Australian double-outlet spacing. Single outlets can be installed using one entry, and the unused entry can be capped. For back-to-back installations (one outlet on each side), the 38mm depth accommodates terminals on both faces without interference.
Yes. The mounting block can be mounted in either horizontal or vertical orientation. The two 20mm cable entries remain accessible regardless of mounting direction, providing flexibility on metal sheds, poles, and structural members where conduit routing may require different angles.
This enclosure complies with the EU RoHS Directive, is Mercury free, and contains no toxic heavy metals. It meets Schneider Electric's manufacturing standards and is suitable for domestic and light commercial installations under AS/NZS electrical standards when installed by a licensed electrician.
