Why Choose the ABB AP636 UK600 Surface Mounting Kit?
The ABB AP636 (ABB order code 2CPX031404R9999) is a purpose-designed three-row surface mounting kit for compatible ABB UK600 electrical distribution enclosures. It allows suitable UK63 series flush-mounted enclosure assemblies to be installed on the wall surface or in a partially recessed arrangement, offering greater flexibility where a fully recessed installation is not practical.
Designed specifically for the ABB UK63 three-row enclosure format, the AP636 uses an extension frame to adapt the mounting arrangement while retaining compatibility with the appropriate standard-door enclosure configuration. The kit features predetermined break-out sections to support the required installation arrangement and is identified in the supplied product designation as RAL 9016 traffic white.
With nominal dimensions of 622 × 384 × 90 mm (H × W × D), the AP636 provides a coordinated solution for professional electrical installations. It is an enclosure mounting accessory rather than a complete consumer unit, so the compatible housing, standard door, equipment support, terminals and circuit protection devices must be provided separately as required.
Key Advantages

Flexible Surface and Partially Recessed Mounting for ABB UK63 Enclosures
The ABB AP636 surface mounting kit is designed to expand the installation options available for compatible three-row UK600 consumer units. While standard flush-mounted enclosures are intended to sit within a prepared wall recess, the AP636 allows the enclosure arrangement to be adapted for mounting on the wall surface or with only part of the assembly recessed.
This flexibility is particularly useful in electrical refurbishment and building alteration projects, where cutting a full-depth recess may be difficult because of wall construction, available space or existing building services. By using the appropriate ABB extension frame, installers can select a mounting arrangement better suited to the installation location.
The kit incorporates predetermined break-out points, which allow the accessory to be prepared for the intended mounting arrangement. Installers should follow the relevant ABB instructions when removing any break-out sections and positioning the frame to ensure correct fit and mechanical support.
Compatibility is an important consideration. ABB specifies the AP636 for the UK63 series and states that this surface mounting accessory is only suitable for standard-door configurations. It should not be assumed to fit every UK600 multimedia enclosure, ventilated door or Wi-Fi-specific door arrangement simply because the products share a three-row format.
The AP636 does not contain the electrical distribution equipment itself. The wall box, equipment support, cover, terminals, standard door and modular protection devices must be selected according to the intended completed assembly. The electrical performance and ingress protection of the installation depend on the compatible enclosure components and correct assembly.
For installers working with ABB UK600 products, the AP636 offers a convenient way to maintain a consistent enclosure system while adapting the mounting method to the requirements of the building.
