Akuvox E18-IWB In-Wall Flush Mount Box for E18 Video Door Phone

Akuvox E18-IWB In-Wall Flush Mount Box

The Akuvox E18-IWB is a purpose-built flush mounting box designed specifically for the Akuvox E18 and E18C 7-inch facial recognition video door phones. Rather than sitting on the surface of a wall, this in-wall box is recessed into a cavity so the intercom sits flush with the wall face, delivering a cleaner, more integrated appearance while also concealing and protecting the cabling behind the unit. It is a practical accessory for installers looking to achieve a premium, streamlined finish on residential entrances, apartment lobbies, gatehouses, and commercial building entries.

Key Features

• Purpose-built fit for the Akuvox E18 and E18C door phone range
• Enables a flush, recessed installation for a neater architectural finish
• Conceals wiring and cable runs behind the intercom for a tidy install
• Provides a secure mounting cavity set into the wall before plastering or cladding
• Designed to align with the E18's positioning holes and hanger bracket system
• Complements optional rain hood accessories for weather protection on exterior walls
• Simplifies future maintenance by allowing the device to be lifted off the bracket without disturbing wiring
• Durable construction suited to both new-build and retrofit installations

Typical Use Case

The E18-IWB is best suited to new construction or renovation projects where the electrical and network cabling can be run inside the wall cavity before the intercom is installed. Installers typically cut an opening in the wall, secure the in-wall box in place, run the Ethernet or power cabling through it, and then mount the E18 door phone onto the integrated bracket so the front fascia sits level with the surrounding wall surface. This approach is popular on multi-residential entrances, offices, and gated communities where a clean, professional aesthetic is important.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the E18-IWB compatible with other Akuvox intercom models?
No. This mounting box is designed specifically for the Akuvox E18 and E18C door phone models and is not interchangeable with brackets for other Akuvox series such as the E16, E20, or E21.

Can I use this box for an outdoor installation?
Yes, it can be used outdoors, but for added weatherproofing many installers pair it with an Akuvox rain hood accessory designed for the E18 to help shield the unit from direct rain exposure.

Do I need an electrician to install it?
Since the box requires cutting into the wall and connecting to network or power cabling, installation is generally recommended for a qualified installer or electrician familiar with intercom and access control systems.
