Comelit UT9162 Ultra 2 Modules Flush-Mount Frame
Overview
The Comelit UT9162 is a flush-mount wall frame designed for two-module configurations within the Comelit Ultra series intercom system. This mounting accessory lets you integrate multiple Comelit Ultra series intercom modules at a single entry point or communication zone while maintaining a clean, professional wall appearance. The frame sits flush against standard drywall and finishes, eliminating the surface-mounted look that can detract from interior design—especially important in lobbies, office entrances, and residential applications where aesthetics matter alongside function.
Key Features
- Dual-module capacity: Supports two Comelit Ultra modules side-by-side, letting you combine call stations, camera units, or relay modules in a single location without stacking hardware or requiring separate mounting surfaces.
- Flush-mount design: Installs into a standard electrical rough-in box, so the frame and modules sit at wall surface level rather than protruding—reducing snag points, protecting exposed wiring, and maintaining a seamless interior finish in spaces where appearance is controlled.
- Standard electrical integration: Compatible with typical residential and commercial 2-gang or expanded rough-in boxes, meaning your electrician can prepare the wall cavity during rough-in without special equipment or unusual spacing requirements.
- Module flexibility: The UT9162 frame accommodates various Ultra series module types—whether you're installing video intercom units, door-release relays, or expansion cards—so you can expand functionality later by swapping or adding modules without rewiring the wall infrastructure.
- Trim-kit compatibility: Works with standard finishing trim kits, enabling you to match the frame to your wall color, material, or architectural style—a practical detail when the installation spans multiple zones or follows strict design guidelines.
- Compact footprint: Two modules fit within a narrow wall profile, making it suitable for tight entry vestibules, narrow hallways, or buildings where space efficiency is a constraint.
Integration & Compatibility
The UT9162 is engineered exclusively for the Comelit Ultra modular ecosystem. Before selecting this frame, confirm that your system uses Ultra series components—the frame will not support older Comelit systems or competing brands. If you're designing a new multi-zone access control or intercom system, this frame accommodates expansion: you can deploy a single module initially and add a second unit later by simply installing an additional module into the vacant slot, avoiding the need to relocate hardware or redo wall rough-in work.
Installers appreciate that the frame integrates with standard electrical finishing practices. Once modules are secured to the UT9162, the assembly mounts into a conventional electrical box using standard fasteners—no proprietary clips, no special tools, no non-standard rough-in dimensions that force electricians to request engineer approval or documentation.
Typical Deployment Scenarios
The UT9162 is most effective in environments where dual-module functionality serves a clear purpose. For example, a main lobby might host a video intercom module plus a door-release relay module, allowing visitors to call and gain entry from a single wall location. An office suite entry could combine a call station with a card-reader module for seamless access control. Residential buildings often use the dual-module setup to include a visitor camera and intercom call station at the main entrance.
In retrofit or renovation work, the flush-mount frame also simplifies aesthetics: rather than installing two separate surface-mounted housings, the UT9162 gives you a unified, integrated appearance that blends with finished walls and trim.
When to Choose a Different Configuration
If your deployment requires only a single module, a single-module intercom mounting frame in the Ultra series will be more cost-effective and simpler to install. If you need more than two modules at one location, or if you are not using Comelit Ultra series components, the UT9162 is not the right choice—verify your system architecture with your integrator before ordering.

The Comelit UT9162 solves a real problem I see in access control retrofits: two modules, one wall location, and you want to avoid the visible cable runs or dual surface boxes that make a lobby look like a patchwork installation. The flush-mount frame is your answer when system planning calls for a video intercom module plus a relay or expansion module in the same zone.
Technical Highlights:
- Dual-module capacity: Two Ultra series modules in one frame means a unified electrical circuit, simplified wiring at rough-in, and no cable jumpers between separate boxes scattered across the wall. That alone cuts installation labor and reduces failure points.
- Flush mount at standard box depth: The UT9162 sites at wall surface level within a standard electrical cavity—no custom rough-in dimensions, no back-box relocation mid-project. Your electrician knows how to frame for a 2-gang box; the UT9162 leverages that existing skill and code baseline.
- Module-agnostic design: Ultra series modules are not all identical—video units, relay expanders, and call stations have different connector footprints. The UT9162 frame accommodates that variety, so you are not locked into a specific module pairing once you install the frame.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your system is Comelit Ultra before you order. The frame will not retrofit older Comelit lines or competing brands. A quick cross-check against your engineering drawings saves a return shipment.
- Standard electrical rough-in is assumed to be completed and code-approved before installation. If your building's electrician is unfamiliar with Comelit hardware, provide them the datasheet or a quick site visit—no special tools, but understanding the electrical load and connector types up front prevents rewiring surprises.
The UT9162 is most valuable in mixed-function installations: lobby entry with camera plus door control, suite entrance combining call station and card reader, or any deployment where two Ultra modules need to share a single wall location without visible clutter. Skip this if you have only one module or if your system predates the Ultra series.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the UT9162 come with the modules, or do I order those separately?
A: The UT9162 is the frame only. Comelit Ultra intercom modules are purchased separately and installed into the frame's two slots. Confirm your module types (video intercom, relay expander, etc.) before ordering.
Q: Can I install the UT9162 into an existing single-module rough-in box, or do I need a full 2-gang electrical cavity?
A: The UT9162 is engineered for standard electrical rough-in and finishing trim kits. A 2-gang box is typical, but confirm with your electrician or the Comelit datasheet that your specific rough-in size and cavity depth accommodate the frame without modifications.
Q: What if I only need one module now but want to add a second later?
A: The UT9162 supports that upgrade path. Install one module initially and leave the second slot vacant. When you're ready to add functionality, install a second Ultra series module into the empty slot—no rewiring or frame replacement required.
Q: Is the UT9162 compatible with Comelit systems other than Ultra?
A: No. The UT9162 is designed exclusively for Comelit Ultra series modules. If you have an older Comelit system, you'll need the mounting solution specified for your model. Verify your system version with your documentation or integrator.
Q: What trim-kit options are available to match my wall finish?
A: The UT9162 is compatible with standard finishing trim kits. Comelit offers trim options in common colors and materials. Check with your integrator or supplier for available finishes that match your installation environment.
