Wall mountable surge suppressor

[SoloGarth]

I am attempting to find a surge strip that has tabs on the ends that allow for it being screwed in to the wall. Not the keyholes on the back. Preferably metal in construction. I have one that is from my days in the Navy but have had a hard time finding another. Any ideas appreciated.

This isn't what you're looking for, but would mounting it on a piece of wood/plywood first work?

Well yes it will be mounted to plywood. That in turn will be mounted to the wall.

Will any of these work?

Unfortunately no those won't work. Thanks for the suggestions. I suppose I would need to elaborate. It needs to be under 20" in length and have at least 6 outlets. The 3rd one has a cord wrap and hand bracket. It might work but less than ideal.

If you see the strip on the bottom that is what I'm looking for. Something similar. I wish I could find another of that exact item. I may experiment with the back keyhole mounted ones to see if that might work. Usually it doesn't seem to though.

I bought one of these recently and it seems to be working well:

HomeDepot.ca has a slightly better image:

You can kind of see the little wings it has on both ends in that picture and those wings each have 2 x key mounting key holes on each wing so a total of 4 mounting/screw holes. If the cord is too long you could always tie wrap it or if you're really not wanting all the extra cord you can always cut off the end and put on a new plug(they sell them at home depot too)

Yeah that one might be a little wide. But I saw they have a six outlet one of these. If it has the mounting tabs it will be perfect. If not I'll probably squeeze that one in somehow. Thanks

 

[SoloGarth]

Perfect!

Just out of curiosity - why do you need a surge suppressor for each outlet? Can't you simply have one suppressor at the wall where you plug your outlet strips in?

 

[SoloGarth]

I could. But I would still need a wall mountable power strip. The reason I need two of these is because the tank electrical uses two separate circuits. I also have 2 EB8s with one running off of a UPS. I will be reworking my whole electrical area in the next few days. It outgrew the area in the picture above and has become a rats nest and hazard.
