CMS C Type GPO White Mounting Spacer

Purpose-Built Surface Offset for C Type Power Outlets

The CMS Electracom C Type GPO White Mounting Spacer is a specialized installation accessory engineered to simplify surface-mounted electrical fit-outs. When installing a standard C Type General Purpose Outlet (GPO) onto solid substrates, joinery, or shallow partitions where full wall cavity recessing is impractical, this spacer provides the exact structural offset required. It creates essential rear clearance for electrical terminals and cabling, ensuring a clean, compliant, and professional finish across commercial, residential, and mobile applications.

Precision Engineering for Streamlined Installations

Unlike makeshift packing materials or non-standard mounting blocks that can result in uneven alignments and exposed wiring, this purpose-built CMS Electracom spacer matches the exact footprint of compatible C Type outlets. The clean white finish integrates seamlessly with white GPO faceplates, maintaining visual continuity across office workstations, commercial furniture, and caravan cabinetry.

Designed with the installer in mind, the spacer incorporates specific structural details derived from professional electrical standards to reduce fit-out times and improve long-term safety:

• Dedicated Surface Offset: Provides critical rear depth for surface-mounted electrical installations, preventing conductor crowding and terminal strain.
• Precision Central Cutout: Features a rectangular aperture engineered specifically for standard C Type GPO module compatibility.
• Integrated Cable Access Notch: Includes a pre-formed entry and exit notch to facilitate clean, unobstructed surface conduit or cable routing without requiring manual cutting on-site.
• Recessed Mounting Holes: Pre-drilled, countersunk fixing points allow fasteners to sit completely flush, preventing interference with the outlet faceplate.
• Alignment Pilot Holes: Secondary positioning holes assist electricians and cabinetmakers in achieving rapid, accurate levelling during initial mark-out and fixing.

Reducing Installation Risks in Tight Spaces

Forcing a power outlet into a shallow cavity or directly against a rigid panel carries the risk of crushing cable insulation, stressing brass terminals, or warping the outlet housing. By introducing a rigid, dimensionally accurate mounting block between the substrate and the outlet, this spacer mitigates mechanical stress on the electrical connections. The recessed fastener points also eliminate the risk of proud screw heads cracking the GPO fascia when tightened.

Ideal Applications

This mounting spacer is widely utilised by electrical contractors, shopfitters, and RV builders where standard plasterboard wall cavities are absent:

• Commercial Office Fit-Outs: Mounting power outlets directly onto desks, modesty panels, and workstation partitions.
• Retail and Hospitality Joinery: Installing accessible power points inside cabinetry, display counters, and service kiosks.
• Caravans, RVs, and Marine Vessels: Providing vital depth clearance on thin timber panelling and composite interior walls where behind-wall space is restricted.
• Architectural Retrofits: Adding new surface-wired power points onto brick, concrete, or solid timber surfaces using the integrated cable notch for neat trunking integration.
