        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Mounting Block One Gang 34mm Deep | Vivid White

        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

        • Standard mounting block configuration — fits all standard single-gang 10A 250V outlets and light switches, including the Clipsal Iconic range.
        • 34mm deep cavity — provides adequate space for cable routing and terminations without forcing connections or risking insulation damage.
        • 84mm mounting centres — compatible with standard outlet and switch bases used across the Australian electrical market.
        • Plate compatibility — accommodates outlet covers and switch skins up to 122 x 79mm, covering the full range of single-gang mechanical accessories.
        • Six fixing points — allows installers to choose appropriate fixings for plasterboard, timber, brick, or concrete substrates without removing the block.
        • Vivid White finish — polyester powder-coated surface resists yellowing and wear, maintaining appearance on high-traffic walls and rental properties.
        • Complete assembly supplied — arrives with mounting screws included, requiring no additional hardware for immediate installation.
        • Clockwise mounting — can be rotated to position cable entry holes to suit specific installation site constraints.
        • Interior use only — not rated for external walls, damp exposed locations, bathrooms, or weatherproof installations; the 449AB-VW is designed for dry internal environments only.
        • Domestic and commercial approved — complies with AS/NZS 3112 standard and is certified for use in residential and commercial electrical circuits without restriction.

        Where to use

        • Renovation and retrofit work — the Clipsal 449AB-VW is a standard base for single-gang outlets and switches on feature walls, plasterboard installations, and older-home rewires where flush wall boxes are not an option.
        • Feature wall and accent installations — mounting blocks allow architects and interior designers to surface-mount switches and outlets to exposed brick, stone, or decorative finishes without cutting into structural elements.
        • Temporary and rental installations — the block can be surface-mounted on rental properties, allowing quick installation and removal without causing permanent wall damage.
        • High-traffic zones — the Vivid White finish resists marking and fingerprints better than standard white, keeping doorway and hallway outlets looking fresh on display homes and prestige builds.
        • Cable management upgrades — the deep 34mm cavity suits installations where multiple cables need to run behind the outlet, such as mixed power and data bundles on work-from-home walls.
        • Wet area surrounds (not in splash zones) — can be used in kitchens above benchtop height where splashing is not a risk, but is NOT suitable for bathrooms, laundry, or outdoor weather-exposed areas.

        The Clipsal 449AB-VW is not suitable for external walls, damp environments, weatherproof installations, or areas subject to splash and rain exposure. Do not install the 449AB-VW in bathrooms, laundries, outdoor locations, or any position where the block or its cable terminations would be exposed to moisture or high humidity.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal 449AB-VW | Mounting Block One Gang 34mm Deep Vivid White (449AB-VW)

        "Works with a lot of other clipsal products" — S.kinman

        "Good quality item. Fast postage" — J H

        "great product and great price" — Scott

        (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.

        Mounting Block on 8 November 2019

        Just an observation that the mounting block Clipsal 449AB-VW is no where near the quality of the old 449A
