Questions & Answers

Would this box work to recess a GFCI outlet, or would adding the additional depth of the GFCI prevent the whole assembly from fitting into a 2x4 frame?

It is absolutely possible to add a GFC

What are the possibilities for using the faceplates on a box already in existence? When we replace 15 amp outlets with 20 amp outlets, we find they come with 15 amps. What do we do?

There are four standard faceplates on each rack. It's hard for me to understand what you're asking. It shouldn't matter if the amps are 20 amps or 15 amps. The box can be used for either

How much electrical wiring will I need for "hidden" wiring with this product? Since I am using a wireless connection, there is no need to conceal the cable. ?

There is no way to "hide" the electrical wiring in this way. Using this approach allows you to sit the electronics flush against the wall, setting your plugs about 2 inches into the In my case, I have this behind my 60-inch television which I hang above my fireplace so that I can hang it as near to the wall as

The box is sized for a wall wart
5/5

It holds an AmbientWeather WS-39 This display unit has a 2000 pixel resolution This is a very easy process to There is a large cutout, hidden behind the WS-, but it is larger than standard single gang An LCD display with 2000 pixels. In order to fit the WS-90 outlet, the box must be big enough This power supply (wall wart) is for 2000. My installation of the machine screws (pictured) on the outlet mounting box was done by me, and they are 6/32 inches in diameter. The threading of the box was done with a tap. In addition to being thick enough for secure threading, the outlet mounting box frames are extremely durable.

The iPad wall mount from Vidabox works well with this product
5/5

A few months ago I installed an iPad on my wall as part of my home automation system. As the frame mount for my Vidabox is behind the frame, I was required to connect to an outlet there. It worked great and I didn't need to use the iPad charging brick with this recessed junction box because I had an outlet with built-in USB plus, so I didn't need to use the USB kit. The gang box has a plastic collar (needed to hold tension across the drywall), therefore I was concerned that there would not be enough clearance for an iPad cable to be able to run to the iPad, so I dremmed a small channel for it. At the end of the day, I'm not sure I The pros are Please note The software is easy to install - This gang box can be plugged into a standard outlet or an outlet with a USB port*. Strong

On the downside Please note None of the products I have tried were recommended to me by others.

The size of this thing is enormous
4/5

The product is well-engineered, and I installed the two that came with my order A cluster of gange boxes behind a larger one It was just too large to be hidden behind the TV as well as the wall mounting bracket. I was going to install this single gange box behind a smaller TV, and it would not fit behind the To be honest, I ended up just going with an old-fashioned one It is possible to have a work box with a recessed outlet (as opposed to a.

The size of the decal was perfect behind the refrigerator
4/5

This was purchased for the back of my I installed a surge receptacle in it that fit well. Instead of nailing in the old one, I installed this There is a single outlet in the The instructions were good, and it fits in just two 2x4 walls, but make sure there are no other cables behind it or in between it and a stud, as there isn't much room behind or beside it when it's next to one. Utilizing the clamping tabs makes the clamping nice and tight. A right angle plug can be installed with no problems. It is the price that we object to.

The item is very good, but it is quite large
4/5

It seems like an amazing product, so I bought it so I can mount a tablet in my shop and have power behind it. There is only one reason for not giving it five stars, and that is the size of the thing. Unless you don't mind the size, this one is perfect. It comes with everything you see in the picture as well as a gromit so that the hole where the power comes through inside the wall already has one in place, so there is no need to punch any holes. Keep in mind that these plug covers are standard size, so you can find them in any colour or shape you want. However, since they are fully inserted into the box, you are able to see precisely how big the device is. In the event you are getting this for a TV installation, I think you should consider something else. Though it already has the slots for low voltage wires, you can get something a little bigger.

All hardware needed to install this great recessed box is included
5/5

Using a low profile TV bracket, I installed it behind the TV. It is an excellent touch to have different faces on each of the plates. I am very pleased with the quality of this It was not as easy as the installation instructions said, so I measured the inside edge myself and cut the hole in the drywall a bit smaller. After installing the screws, the fit was so snug that it was very secure, even before the screws were tightened.

The program works well and is simple to use
5/5

Despite that, keep in mind that it's a pretty large file. I think this is pretty cool. The electrical and GFCI components that came with it were tossed, and a keystone plate (for Ethernet) was installed instead. The cables that come out behind my wall are ethernet cables - The TV has been mounted and there is no room for it. I had no trouble with this and it's a very straightforward process. This is well made, however the one thing I dislike is the size. I had to expand my hole quite a bit so that it would fit. If they would make actual face plates that simply pushed back into the wall a bit and didn't take up so much space, I would appreciate it. As the height of the TV now peeks over the top of this, in addition to the wall cutting, I am having issues with the size of the new unit, which now peeks over my previous (non-sleek No recessed) plate did. One other small problem was that the hole at the bottom was not large enough to allow me to install an Ethernet keystone jack already installed in the wall. I had to take a rat out It will end up with a tail file. My guess is that I could have taken the jack apart, pushed the wire inside, and reinstalled it. It's a pain, but what a problem! It could have been made even a few millimeters bigger and it would have been a lot better. Anyway, it does what it should and I thought it was very easy, so I give it a 5 star rating.

There's no other option on the market that I can find
3/5

My smart-home controller is powered by this. I'm using a wall-mounted tablet to control it. I found that this is the only recessed option in which you can choose what type of outlet you want to connect to There is a problem in that it is so huge. The application does not show behind the frame I have mounted to the top of the 8-inch tablet I am trying to install it to. If they could just shrink it down a bit, it would be a 5/5 star game.
