A push-button is not a normal switch. The electric current is only transmitted when the button is pressed (for example a doorbell). 
But if a push-button is used in combination with an impulse relay in the fuse box, then it can be used as a one-way switch, a two-way switch, a timer or a stairwell switch. 
And if a push-button is used in combination with home automation then it can be used as a one-way switch, a two-way switch or a stairwell switch, a dimmer, a shutter switch, a doorbell button, a master switch, etc.

- Compatible with Ø 7 cm flush-mounted boxes.

The brown colour will subtly add a warm and cozy touch to your home. It is a perfect alternative to black and not an old-fashioned or boring colour. Brown gives depth and character to your interior. This colour goes perfectly with white. And if you combine it with bronze or gold, you will create a luxurious interior.

A flush-mount socket is designed to be installed inside a flush-mounting box recessed into the wall. The electrical wiring is concealed inside this flush-mounting box, which is why it is called a flush-mount socket. Here are examples of a single flush-mounting box and a double flush-mounting box.

To install a socket, you first need to fit a flush-mounting box that provides sufficient space for the electrical connections. The box should be recessed into the plaster so that its front edge is perfectly flush with the finished wall surface.

All zangra flush-mount sockets are supplied with a standard flush-mounting box.
