Viking Electronics VE-5X10-PNL-SS Stainless Steel Surface Mount Back Box with Aluminum Panel
Overview
The VE-5X10-PNL-SS is a surface mount back box built from 0.060" thick marine grade 316 stainless steel with a #4B brushed finish — the grade of steel that holds up in coastal environments, chemical wash-down areas, and exterior installations where standard cold-rolled steel corrodes within months. The included panel is 0.081" (12 gauge) aluminum finished with UV-stable clear gloss powder paint, giving you a rigid, corrosion-resistant mounting surface for Viking intercom and entry system electronics. This is the solution when you need to mount a Viking Electronics device on a wall or post in a harsh outdoor environment without recessing into the structure.
Compatibility
Designed for surface mounting numerous Viking Electronics products in the VE-Series line, including Viking intercoms, emergency phones, and entry systems that use the 5×10 panel footprint. Compatible product families include the VE-5×10 series entry panels and associated intercom modules. The aluminum panel accepts Viking's standard VE-Series electronics mounting configuration. If your Viking device uses a different panel footprint, verify the 5×10 form factor against your specific model before ordering — Viking offers alternate back box sizes and non-stainless variants (VE-5×10-PNL for standard steel installations) within the intercom and entry system accessory line. The SS designation is specifically for installations requiring corrosion-resistant enclosures; the non-SS version uses 16 gauge CRS if the environment does not demand stainless.
Installation Notes
The box is engineered for surface mounting to a wall, post, or single gang electrical box — not for flush or recessed installations. The marine grade 316 stainless construction and weather-resistant design make it suited for exposed outdoor use. At a shipping weight of 2.0 lb, the assembly is lightweight enough for single-technician mounting. Plan conduit entry points and wiring routing before mounting, as the stainless enclosure does not lend itself to field modification. Pair with appropriate surface mount hardware and weatherproof cable management for a complete outdoor entry system installation. Consult the VE-Series product manual for panel cutout dimensions and fastener placement specific to the Viking device being installed.
