Learn more by watching our Recessed Wall Box 1 Gang White | RECWP1WH video.
The Repelec RECWP1WH is a single-gang recessed wall box rated for new and retrofit installations in plasterboard walls. It accepts standard power-point mechanisms from Clipsal, HPM, PDL, and other major brands (mechanisms not included). The RECWP1WH is designed to sit flush with the wall surface, allowing furniture and appliances to sit tight against the wall without protruding power cords.
Behind-wall mounting is increasingly common in residential and light commercial installations where a clean finish matters and cable management is constrained. Beds, fridges, entertainment units, and built-in cabinetry often demand recessed outlets that sit below the finished wall line. The RECWP1WH solves the awkward gap problem where a standard wall box forces furniture to sit 25–50mm away from the wall surface, creating both visual clutter and safety issues where cords can pinch or catch.
Installation is straightforward for a licensed electrician and works as well in retrofit situations (replacing failed or outdated boxes) as it does in new builds. The unit ships with a template for accurate plasterboard cut-outs and a metal bracket for solid mounting support. Heat-resistant plastic construction and professional-grade fittings suit domestic and light commercial applications where plasterboard wall finishes are specified.
Not suitable for wet areas: the RECWP1WH is designed for dry indoor plasterboard walls only. Wet-area applications (kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, outdoor) require IP-rated or weatherproof enclosures. For moisture-prone locations, specify weatherproof or IP55-rated alternatives.
Recessed power points, also known as recessed wall boxes, are an increasingly popular choice for both residential and commercial installations. These devices allow you to install electrical outlets, switches, and other devices flush with the wall, creating a clean and modern look. If you're considering adding recessed power points to your home or business, here are a few practical uses to keep in mind:
Wall-mounted TVs: If you have a wall-mounted TV, you may be limited in terms of where you can place your power outlets. A recessed power point can help you keep cords and cables out of sight, creating a more streamlined and professional look.
Furniture placement: If you have furniture or appliances that you want to push against the wall, such as a refrigerator or bookshelf, a recessed power point can help you avoid awkward gaps or cords hanging out in the open.
Data and communication devices: Recessed power points can also be used to install devices such as phone jacks, cable outlets, and Ethernet ports, allowing you to keep these devices out of sight and clutter-free.
Security systems: Recessed wall boxes can be used to install security devices such as motion sensors and cameras, providing a discreet and professional installation.
Audio/visual devices: Recessed power points can be used to install audio and visual components such as speakers and TVs, allowing for a more integrated and seamless setup.
Overall, recessed power points can be a practical and stylish choice for a variety of installations. If you're interested in adding these devices to your home or business, it's important to work with a licensed electrician to ensure a safe and professional installation.
Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Repelec RECWP1WH (RECWP1WH)
"This product was perfect for placing behind my bed." — Chelsea
(RECWP1WH)
Installation of the RECWP1WH requires a licensed electrician. The unit must be secured to solid plasterboard using the supplied metal bracket, and the outlet mechanism itself must be connected to the electrical circuit by a qualified professional to comply with AS/NZS 3000.
The RECWP1WH accepts standard single-gang outlet mechanisms from Clipsal, HPM, PDL, and equivalent brands. The mechanism is not included; you order the outlet (e.g. a 10A double outlet or switched outlet) separately to match your circuit requirements.
The RECWP1WH is suitable for plasterboard walls with cavity depths of 70mm and 90mm. These are the most common plasterboard thicknesses in residential and light commercial construction. Confirm your wall thickness before ordering.
No. The RECWP1WH is rated for dry indoor plasterboard walls only. Wet areas (kitchens, bathrooms, laundries) and outdoor locations require IP-rated or weatherproof enclosures. Using the RECWP1WH in moisture-prone areas breaches installation standards and voids the warranty.
The RECWP1WH carries a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects, measured from the invoice date. Warranty covers the wall box unit itself (plastic housing and metal bracket). Warranty does not cover damage from misinstallation, moisture exposure, or modifications.
The Repelec RECWP1WH is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
