Why Choose the ABB AP648 UK600 Surface Mounting Kit?
The ABB AP648 (ABB order code 2CPX031405R9999) is a purpose-designed four-row surface mounting kit for compatible ABB UK600 electrical distribution enclosures. It allows suitable UK64 series flush-mounted enclosure assemblies to be adapted for surface-mounted or partially recessed installation, providing additional flexibility where a conventional fully recessed installation is unsuitable.
Designed for the ABB UK64 four-row enclosure format, the AP648 incorporates an extension frame arrangement with predetermined break-out points. This enables installers to adapt a compatible UK600 enclosure to the available wall construction while maintaining a coordinated appearance with the manufacturer's standard-door enclosure system.
Manufactured from plastic and specified in RAL 9016 traffic white, the kit has nominal dimensions of 747 × 384 × 90 mm (H × W × D). It is intended for compatible four-row enclosures with a nominal 48-module configuration and is supplied as an installation accessory rather than a complete consumer unit.

Flexible Surface and Partially Recessed Mounting for Four-Row ABB UK600 Enclosures
The ABB AP648 surface mounting kit provides an alternative installation arrangement for compatible four-row UK600 consumer units. Standard recessed distribution enclosures require a suitable opening within the wall, but the AP648 allows an appropriate UK64 enclosure assembly to be installed on the wall surface or with only part of its depth recessed.
This capability is particularly useful in building refurbishment, electrical upgrades and alterations, where wall construction may prevent a full-depth recess from being created. The extension frame provides a coordinated way to adapt the enclosure without abandoning the ABB UK600 product system.
The predetermined break-out points allow the mounting accessory to be prepared for the intended installation arrangement. Installers should follow the applicable ABB mounting instructions when removing break-out sections, securing the assembly and preparing cable-entry routes.
The AP648 is intended for the UK64 four-row enclosure family. A compatible completed UK64 distribution assembly typically provides a nominal 48-module configuration, but the AP648 itself does not contain any modular equipment positions, DIN rails or circuit protection devices. Those features belong to the separately selected enclosure and internal equipment assembly.
ABB specifies that the AP648 is suitable only for standard-door configurations. This distinction is important when selecting components from the wider UK600 range, particularly where multimedia enclosures, ventilated doors or Wi-Fi-specific door arrangements are involved. Such combinations should not be assumed compatible without explicit manufacturer confirmation.
The kit is made from plastic and finished in RAL 9016 traffic white, allowing it to coordinate with suitable white ABB UK600 components. Its nominal dimensions of 747 × 384 × 90 mm should be considered during installation planning, alongside the dimensions of the complete enclosure and any required cable clearances.
Because the AP648 is a mounting accessory rather than a complete protective enclosure, its installation does not independently establish an IP rating or electrical performance classification. The completed assembly must be designed and installed using compatible ABB components in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical regulations.
