Questions & Answers
Can this box be fitted in a 4? inch round hole to a wooden surface, such as a laminated beam? I plan on using this box to attach a motion sensor light to it in front of my garage door. Thank you in advance for any reply and assistance to this question.
Yes, as long as the hole is deep enough into the beam to allow the face to be flush, and the gasketed cover to seal from weather.
What is the size of the screw on the back for the ground screw?
10-32
10-32
What is the distance between the two mounting screws, center the center? The ones that a fixture or cover plate are secured with.
I do not know.. What I have done in the past is drill new holes if needed.
Distance is 3.5 Inches
Is this a good solution to surface mount to a ceiling over an existing outlet?
it depends where this is locate, yes but wont be pretty though.
NO, MOUNTING ITEM OVER EXISTING ELECTRICAL OUTLET IS IN VIOLATION OF EXISTING FIRE ELECTRICAL CODES. SHOULD REMOVE EXISTING ELECTRICAL OUTLET & THEN MOUNT DEVICE 2 MEET EXISTING FIRE ELECTRICAL CODES.
If the intention is to mount over an existing outlet box, we recommend the 128 extension ring. If mounting over a receptacle, no, it is not suited for such an installation.
No, if i am interpreting the question correctly. Tere is an extension box that has an open back that will fit, screw, over an existing box of the same size. I assume you need to extend down.
Can this box be used on an exterior block column? The column will be wrapped with stone veneer. I would use the center knockout in the back to run my exterior sleeve and wire.
This box cannot be used in an exposed outdoor wet location. It can be inside the wall. You will need a Bell 5361-0 weatherproof box if it is exposed.
Yes it can. Remember that it is galvanized steel so eventually it will rust. If that's a problem use a plastic new work box.
This type of box is usually used as a Junction an therefore a plain smooth cover place is used to close it. If your are planning to install a service outlet or switch, at that location, check to see if you can purchase the proper cover plate to work with this box.
Please let me knows you can send to UAE it i will order Octagon 4" boxes
No! I returned to your store, three days after my project had been finalized. Delays caused me to use your competitor!
What is the size of the screw that this box use?
8-32 screws.
What cover would fit this octagonal electric box?
Depending on your application, we offer 5 different 4" Octagon covers - Flat, blank; Flat 1/2 KO; Flat 3/4 KO; Flat Toggle or Flat Duplex.
