        NLS | Solid Mounting Block 38mm Deep | White

        The NLS 30318 is a solid 38mm deep mounting block rated for surface mounting standard wall plates with 84mm centers on walls or ceilings. The 30318 features heavy-duty PVC construction and solid backing, making it suitable for installation on metal surfaces such as sheds, where cable protection all around is required. Supplied with 2x wall plate mounting screws and cable entry plugs included.

        Electricians mounting on metal surfaces (sheds, industrial) typically specify solid mounting blocks because the solid backing resists corrosion and the deep cavity protects cable runs from damage. The NLS 30318 solves the common jobsite problem: when drywall mounting isn't an option, the solid construction provides a professional, code-compliant surface. The 84mm center spacing matches standard Australian wall plate dimensions, so no adapters or custom drilling is needed on the majority of installations.

        The trade benefit of the NLS 30318 is dual-entry flexibility — the two 20mm conduit entries (one on each side) let the sparky run cable entry from left or right without remodelling. Heavy-duty PVC resists UV and corrosion better than standard plastic, extending the lifespan on outdoor and industrial jobs. The 35mm internal cavity gives plenty of room for multiple cable terminations, reducing the need for deeper boxes on high-density circuits.

        Features

        • Solid mounting block construction — the 30318 is a solid surface backing for metal sheds, industrial installations, and situations where drywall mounting isn't possible.
        • 38mm deep (35mm internal) — provides spacious cable termination room and deeper cable routing than shallow mounting blocks.
        • Dual 20mm conduit entries — one entry on each side (left and right) allows flexible cable entry direction without on-site modification.
        • 84mm center spacing — fits all standard Australian wall plate sizes, compatible with power points, light switches, and electrical accessories without adapters.
        • Heavy-duty PVC construction — resists UV, corrosion, and environmental exposure better than standard plastic, extending service life on outdoor and industrial sites.
        • Includes wall plate mounting screws — supplied complete with 2x screws for fixing the mounting block, no additional fasteners needed.
        • Includes cable entry plugs — unused 20mm conduit ports are sealed with plugs to prevent moisture and debris ingress.
        • Metal surface installation — ideal for mounting on metal shed walls, light industrial panels, and other non-drywall substrates where cable protection is critical.
        • Dimensions: 115mm length, 74mm width, 38mm depth — compact profile fits standard wall space without protrusion or site obstruction.
        • Not suitable for shallow drywall mounting — the 30318 is designed for solid backing applications; if shallow mounting on drywall is the requirement, a shallow block (14–16mm deep) is the better choice.

        Where to use

        • Metal shed and industrial walls — the NLS 30318 is the standard choice when mounting on metal surfaces where cable protection and corrosion resistance are essential.
        • Outdoor and weatherproof installations — the heavy-duty PVC backing handles UV exposure and salt-air environments better than standard plastic, making it suitable for coastal or industrial applications.
        • High cable density termination — the 35mm internal cavity suits installations with multiple cable runs that need room to bend and terminate without cramping.
        • Where mounting on non-drywall substrates is required — metal frames, composite panels, and fibreglass surfaces all need solid backing; the 30318 bridges the gap between drywall and industrial materials.
        • Cable protection and safety — the solid construction protects cable runs from accidental damage, moisture, and impact better than open-back alternatives.
        • Rental properties and commercial fit-outs — where recurring installation changes are expected, the robust PVC backing handles repeated mounting and dismounting cycles.

        The NLS 30318 is not suitable for flush drywall mounting where a shallow backing plate (14–16mm) is required. It is intended for metal, industrial, or solid-surface applications only. For standard internal drywall power points and light switches, a shallow mounting block (16mm) is the more appropriate choice.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: NLS Solid Mounting Block (30318)

        "This mounting block is solid and works as expected." — Howard

        (30318)

        The 30318 is a solid 38mm deep block designed for metal surfaces like sheds and industrial installations; shallow mounting blocks (14–16mm) are for flush drywall mounting only. The solid 30318 provides metal-surface compatibility and a deeper cavity for cable routing. Choose the 30318 if mounting on metal, concrete, or non-drywall surfaces.

        Yes, the 30318 can be installed on drywall, but it's not the typical choice for internal residential drywall mounting (a shallow block is more common). The 30318's solid backing and deep cavity make it better suited to metal sheds, industrial panels, and outdoor installations where its extra depth and corrosion resistance provide real benefit.

        The internal cavity is 35mm deep, allowing room for multiple cable terminations and cable bending without tight cramping. The external depth is 38mm.

        The 30318 has two 20mm conduit entries, one on the left side and one on the right side. This dual-entry design lets the sparky run cable entry from either direction without on-site modification. Unused ports are sealed with plugs included.

        Yes. The heavy-duty PVC construction resists UV and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial applications. The solid backing provides protection for cable runs in exposed environments. For maximum longevity in coastal or high-salt areas, the PVC material is more durable than standard plastic alternatives.
