Description
The WS NC FOR RTI KA8 is an in-wall new construction adapter designed to provide a flush, integrated mounting solution for KA8 touch panels. It secures the panel while allowing straightforward insertion and removal. The adapter is supplied unpainted to be finished as part of the wall.
Key features include a paintable surface that matches wall color and texture, a depth calibration mechanism, and magnetic detachment for easy access and servicing. The adapter sits flush with the wall and is made to accept the KA8 touch panel securely. It is engineered to integrate cleanly with standard drywall finishes.
Technical details include dimensions of 299.3mm W x 224.3mm H x 46.2mm D and a nominal weight of 0.95Kg (2.1lbs). The unit is constructed from moisture resistant MDF compliant with TSCA Title VI and requires no power supply. The adapter is optimized for installation in 1/2″ drywall and includes hardware for secure mounting.
Compatibility and connectivity are straightforward – the adapter is designed specifically for KA8 touch panels and the touch panel is not included. For concrete or block wall installations use the WS CONCRETE BOX 300X225 P/N 10-01-446 (sold separately). For installations in 5/8″ drywall use the 1/8″ shimpack P/N 10-01-067 (sold separately).
Typical applications include residential automation installs, commercial control panels in meeting rooms, and integrated AV touch points in hospitality or education spaces. The flush paintable finish maintains aesthetics while providing a secure mounting interface for the touch panel. The magnetic detachment mechanism allows technicians to service or replace the panel without damage to the surrounding wall finish.
Installation is consistent with standard drywall construction practices and includes a depth calibration mechanism to set the touch panel plane precisely. The adapter ships unpainted so it can be finished with wall paint and texture after installation. Built from moisture resistant MDF and supplied with mounting hardware, it provides a reliable, serviceable in-wall mounting solution.
