Description
Need a rugged, flexible enclosure that goes where standard flush-mount boxes can't? The VE-5X10-PNL is a surface mount backbox built for Viking products that adds vandal resistance, weather protection, and easy customization in a single ready-to-install kit.
Constructed from black fine texture powder painted steel, this backbox mounts directly to a wall, post, single or double gang box, or any Viking gooseneck pedestal. The included gasket seals out moisture and debris, making it a solid choice for entryways, parking structures, outdoor kiosks, or any location where the elements are a concern. A built-in blank clear-coated aluminum panel gives you the freedom to cut and configure the faceplate however your application demands.
Whether you're adding a PRX-1 card reader, a PRX-2 keypad, a custom switch, or another component entirely, the blank panel gives you a clean, professional surface to work with. The kit ships complete with the box, gasket, panel, and all mounting screws so you have everything you need out of the box.
Our Expert Take: The VE-5X10-PNL is the go-to solution when you're deploying Viking entry or access control hardware in a location that doesn't have a pre-cut flush opening or requires extra protection against tampering and weather. The blank aluminum panel is especially useful for integrators who need to combine multiple access components — like a card reader and a keypad — into one clean, custom enclosure rather than running separate surface boxes for each device.
