Learn more by watching our Clipsal 449AB-VW | Mounting Block 34mm Vivid White video.
The Clipsal 449AB-VW is a surface-mounted 34mm deep one-gang mounting block rated for standard electrical outlets and switches rated up to 10A 250V, complying with AS/NZS 3112 and suitable for domestic and commercial installation. The 449AB-VW measures 125mm long, 82mm wide, and 34mm deep, providing additional cable space behind standard wall-mounted outlets and switches.
Renovation and new-build installations frequently require mounting blocks when retrofitting power points or switches onto existing walls or solid surfaces where flush-mounted wall boxes are not practical. The deeper 34mm cavity is essential in situations with existing cables or multiple connections that need additional room to land without forcing circuit terminations into tight spaces. Tradies upgrading homes or installing new circuits value the consistent quality across the Clipsal range for colour matching and interchangeability with existing outlets.
The Clipsal 449AB-VW simplifies installations on renovation sites because the mounting block uses a standard 84mm centre spacing, making it compatible with the majority of Clipsal outlet and switch mechanisms already stocked for the same purpose. The 84mm mounting centres and compatible plate sizes up to 122 x 79mm mean electricians can fit the 449AB-VW to existing Clipsal outlet bases and skins without needing specialist adaptor plates. The block arrives complete with two mounting screws so installation can proceed immediately, and the six fixing points on the base provide flexible mounting options for different wall and ceiling substrates.
Features
Where to use

(449AB-VW)
The 449AB-VW uses standard 84mm mounting centres and fits most single-gang Clipsal outlets and switches, including the Iconic, Classic, and 2000 series. The mounting block accepts outlet covers and switch skins up to 122 x 79mm, so compatibility is broad across the range.
Yes, the 449AB-VW has six fixing points on the base, allowing you to choose appropriate anchors or screws for plasterboard, timber, brick, or concrete substrates. Concrete and brick may require masonry anchors or plugs; plasterboard typically uses plasterboard plugs supplied separately.
The cavity is 34mm deep, providing adequate space for standard cable runs and terminations. Avoid overcrowding; cables must be neatly routed and terminated without sharp bends that could damage insulation. If multiple circuits are feeding a single outlet, check with your licensed electrician to confirm cable routing.
No. The 449AB-VW is suitable only for dry interior installations. It is not rated for bathrooms, laundries, outdoor areas, or locations subject to splash and moisture exposure. For wet-area applications, use a weatherproof enclosure or IP66-rated mounting block instead.
It is a mounting block only and does not include outlets or switch mechanisms. It arrives with two mounting screws to secure an outlet or switch plate to the block. You must purchase the outlet, switch, or fixture separately to match the base.
