Axis 2N 01700-001 Indoor Flush Box for 2N Answering Units with Adjustable Levelling 105mm Diameter 52mm Deep

Product SKU: 01700-001

Product Overview

The AXIS 2N 01700-001 Indoor Flush Box is a recessed installation box designed for compatible 2N indoor answering units. It allows supported indoor stations to be installed neatly into a wall or plasterboard surface rather than projecting from a surface-mount enclosure. The box measures approximately 105.5 mm in diameter and 52 mm deep, while installation requires a round opening approximately 103 mm wide and 52 mm deep. A key feature is the ability to gently rotate the fitted answering unit after installation, allowing its final horizontal position to be fine-tuned even if the wall opening is not perfectly aligned. 2N also provides provision for attaching a spirit level during installation. Current compatibility includes 2N Indoor View, 2N Indoor Compact, 2N Indoor Talk and 2N Sentrio.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Apartment installations: Provides a cleaner recessed finish for compatible 2N indoor answering units inside individual residences.
• New-build homes: Ideal when the wall cavity can be prepared during first fix before the interior finish is completed.
• Plasterboard walls: Specifically suitable for compatible indoor stations where a round recessed opening can be prepared.
• Premium interior finishes: Flush mounting helps reduce the visible projection of the indoor station from the wall.

Why Choose the 2N Indoor Flush Box

The main reason to choose the 01700-001 is to achieve a proper recessed installation rather than adapting a compatible 2N indoor answering unit to an unsuitable wall opening. Its purpose-designed dimensions give the installer a defined first-fix requirement, while the levelling system provides useful adjustment after the indoor station is fitted. That ability to fine-tune the final horizontal position is especially helpful in finished interiors where even a small alignment error can be visually obvious. Available through Security Wholesalers, the flush box is best ordered and installed during the early stages of the project so the correct wall opening and cable position are prepared before the indoor answering unit is installed.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose 01700-001 if: You need a flush-mounted installation for a compatible 2N indoor answering unit and the wall can accommodate the required 103 mm round opening and 52 mm depth.
• Choose the surface installation box if: Cutting a recessed wall cavity is not practical or the wall does not provide sufficient depth.
• Choose the desktop stand if: A supported indoor answering unit needs to sit on furniture rather than be mounted into the wall.

FAQs

1. What is the AXIS 2N Indoor Flush Box 01700-001 used for?
   The AXIS 2N Indoor Flush Box 01700-001 is a wall and plasterboard flush-mount installation box for compatible 2N indoor answering units. It provides the recessed mounting cavity behind the indoor station and is designed so the fitted answering unit can be gently rotated for final horizontal alignment. This makes it useful where a cleaner flush-mounted installation is preferred over a surface-mounted box or desktop stand.
2. Which 2N indoor stations are compatible with the 01700-001 flush box?
   Current 2N product information lists the Indoor Flush Box as suitable for 2N Indoor View, 2N Indoor Compact, 2N Indoor Talk and 2N Sentrio. Compatibility should still be checked against the exact answering unit being installed, particularly on existing systems or when replacing older hardware. When planning the accessory through Security Wholesalers, match the box to the specific indoor station before wall preparation begins.
3. What size opening is required for the 2N Indoor Flush Box?
   The flush box requires an approximately 103 mm-wide and 52 mm-deep round wall opening. The box itself measures approximately 105.5 mm in diameter and 52 mm deep. These dimensions matter during first-fix work because the wall cavity needs to be prepared before the indoor answering unit is fitted. Checking the opening before cutting helps avoid an oversized or shallow recess.
4. Can the 2N Indoor Flush Box be levelled after installation?
   Yes. The design allows the fitted indoor answering unit to be gently rotated so its final position can be fine-tuned horizontally after installation. 2N also highlights fine level adjustment and the option to attach a spirit level during installation. This is useful when the wall opening is not perfectly aligned, as the finished answering unit can still be positioned neatly.
5. What material is the 2N Indoor Flush Box made from?
   The 2N Indoor Flush Box is made from PA66 GF30 plastic. The material is used for the recessed installation box that sits inside the prepared wall or plasterboard opening. Because the box is hidden behind the indoor answering unit after installation, its main role is to provide the correct mounting cavity and support the final positioning of the compatible indoor station.
6. Is the 01700-001 flush box suitable for plasterboard walls?
   Yes. 2N describes 01700-001 as a wall and plasterboard flush-mount box for its indoor answering units. The installation still requires the specified round opening and sufficient cavity depth. The surrounding wall or plasterboard must also be capable of supporting the completed indoor station installation, so the mounting method should be planned during first fix rather than after the wall finish is complete.
7. Is AXIS 01700-001 the same as 2N part number 91378800?
   Yes. Axis part number 01700-001 corresponds to 2N part number 91378800 for the Indoor Flush Box. Both references identify the same recessed installation accessory. This is useful when matching current Axis order references with older 2N documentation, existing project schedules or supplier listings that may use the original 2N part number instead.
8. Should I choose the flush box or the surface box for my 2N indoor station?
   Choose the 01700-001 flush box when the compatible indoor answering unit should sit recessed into the wall and the wall can accommodate the required opening and depth. Choose the separate surface installation box when cutting a recessed cavity is not practical. A desktop stand is another option for supported indoor stations where wall mounting is not required.
