Comelit 3460/6 Flush Mount Box for 5-6 Button
Overview
The Comelit 3460/6 is a flush mount installation box engineered for 5-6 button control modules in Comelit intercom and access control systems. This accessory delivers recessed wall and column mounting capability, enabling clean integration of intercom hardware into finished architectural surfaces while maintaining code compliance and professional appearance. The flush mount design eliminates surface protrusions, which matters in high-traffic areas, hallways, and lobbies where a clean wall profile is non-negotiable.
Key Features
- Recessed Wall and Column Installation: The 3460/6 mounts flush into the wall or column surface, hiding rough-in wiring and providing a finished look without conduit or surface raceways. This is essential in commercial and residential environments where exposed equipment detracts from aesthetics and may violate building codes.
- 5-6 Button Module Compatibility: Purpose-built for Comelit 5-6 button control modules, ensuring proper fitment and electrical integration. Confirms the box is sized and wired to match the module's mounting footprint and connector layout.
- Residential and Commercial Deployment: Rated for both residential and commercial intercom deployments, meaning it handles the duty cycle and environmental exposure typical of apartment buildings, office parks, warehouses, and mixed-use facilities.
- Concealed Wiring and Component Housing: The box provides internal volume for bundling and routing cables, reducing clutter behind the wall panel and simplifying future service access. Proper cable management protects connections from physical damage and makes troubleshooting faster.
- Professional Installation Support: Designed to work with standard roughing-in practices — carpenters frame the opening, electricians pull the low-voltage wiring through, and the module snaps into the box. This modular approach accelerates installation and reduces coordination overhead on site.
Integration & Compatibility
The 3460/6 integrates directly into intercom and access control systems that use Comelit 5-6 button modules. Confirm your Comelit system's button module count and connector type before ordering. The flush mount box is passive — it does not contain active electronics — so it carries no power requirements, no configuration, and no firmware updates. It is purely a mechanical housing and wiring enclosure.
Mounting and Environment
The 3460/6 is designed for interior wall and column mounting in climate-controlled environments. It is not rated for outdoor exposure, direct sunlight, or damp/wet conditions. If you require outdoor intercom call stations, specify weatherproof surface-mount housings instead. Rough opening dimensions and fastening hardware compatibility depend on your wall construction — verify stud spacing, conduit knockout sizes, and local electrical code before installation.
When to Choose a Different Accessory
If your Comelit system uses a different button count (e.g., 2-button or 7+ button modules), or if you require a surface-mount installation, you will need a different housing variant. Consult the Comelit system documentation or contact a systems integrator familiar with your specific configuration to confirm the correct box model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What button counts does the Comelit 3460/6 support?
A: The 3460/6 is engineered for 5-6 button Comelit control modules. It is not compatible with fewer or more buttons.
Q: Can the 3460/6 be installed outdoors?
A: No. The 3460/6 is designed for interior, climate-controlled environments only. Outdoor call stations require weatherproof surface-mount or specialized outdoor housings.
Q: Does the 3460/6 require power or configuration?
A: No. The 3460/6 is a passive wiring enclosure and mounting box. It contains no electronics, requires no power, and needs no setup or software configuration.
Q: What is included in the box?
A: The 3460/6 includes the flush mount housing only. Obtain the 5-6 button module, mounting hardware, and wiring from your system integrator or the Comelit product line documentation.
Q: Can I use the 3460/6 for column or post mounting?
A: Yes. The 3460/6 supports both wall and column installation, provided the column is hollow or has sufficient depth to accommodate the box depth and wiring.

The Comelit 3460/6 is a straightforward accessory — a passive flush mount box with no surprises. But that simplicity is exactly what makes it useful on the job site. You're buying a dimensionally precise enclosure, nothing more. The 3460/6 works only for 5-6 button modules, so verify your module count before you order. A mistake here means a trip back to the truck.
Technical Highlights:
- 5-6 Button Module Fitment: The box is molded to accept Comelit 5-6 button modules. No adapters, no spacers, no field modifications. Snap-fit design speeds installation and reduces callbacks.
- Interior Cable Routing: The enclosure provides internal volume for low-voltage wiring bundling, cable dressing, and connector management. Proper cable management protects connections and simplifies future pulls or service work.
- Wall and Column Mounting: Dual mounting capability (wall and column) gives you flexibility on site. Confirm the rough opening depth and stud spacing before fabrication.
Deployment Considerations:
- Interior use only — this box has no weatherproofing. Outdoor call stations need a different housing type.
- Roughing-in depth matters. If your wall is thinner than the box depth, you will have a surface-mounted lip or you'll need to use a different mounting strategy. Check building and electrical code before finalizing the installation.
- The 3460/6 is a passive component; if the intercom module itself fails or develops a defect, the box won't catch it. Test the module before you install and seal the wall.
Use the Comelit 3460/6 when you're roughing in a 5-6 button intercom station in a commercial lobby, apartment foyer, or office entry and you want a clean, code-compliant flush installation. It's not exciting, but it's exactly what the job requires.
