looking to put 4 sockets in a drywall box in the kitchen, it's not wide enough for four in a row. Is there a square type like the attached one but without the module slots?

Wow. I didn’t know they existed. For sale here

The OP could make them into dry wall boxes by using these adaptors
Plasterboard Flange (2 required per box) - https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/AP603.html

Note to the OP. The spacing of the MK 857zic, etc only works for standard white plastic sockets. Many metal fancy sockets are larger and they will not fit!

Lol ÂŁ30 each.......
 
Thanks for all the useful info. When I said drywall I used the term a bit loosely as it's wide boxing around the soil pipe and it's 9mm MDF so I got a couple of normal Ashley plasterboard fixing boxes from Screwfix.
