When the screw holes in an older box strip out or break, the switch panel can no longer be held securely. This repair tool inserts a fresh support structure — the PVC screw plug and support rod — so the panel can be tightened firmly again without replacing the entire in-wall box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is the 86 Type Switch Box Repairer safe to use with live electrical installations?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The repair tool is made from PVC, which offers good electrical insulation properties and anti-conduction characteristics. However, as with any work near electrical fittings, always ensure the power to the circuit is switched off at the breaker before beginning any repair. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. Always follow local electrical safety codes and regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Will this fit my wall switch box?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: This product is designed for standard Type 86 format boxes, which measure 86mm across and are the most commonly installed concealed switch\/socket boxes in residential properties. Check that your existing box is the 86mm Type 86 standard before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What material is this repair kit made from, and why does it matter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The kit is made from high-quality PVC (polyvinyl chloride). PVC is chosen because it is electrically non-conductive (insulating), resistant to aging and moisture, and has a high impact resistance and tensile strength — all important properties for a component used inside a wall switch box where durability and safety are paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What does the 86 Type Switch Box Repair Kit actually fix?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The 86 Type Switch Box Repair Kit is designed to fix damaged or worn fixing holes in Type 86 (86mm) concealed wall switch and socket bottom boxes.
