Benefits
Streamline installation — Revolutionary brackets simplify the process of positioning and mounting electrical outlet boxes. Most boxes are available with clamps for sheathed non-metallic cable or armored cable.
Avoid costly rework — New Steel City adjustable mud rings are a quick and economical way to ensure that stud-mounted outlet boxes fit flush with drywall, plaster or ceramic tile. The inner ring can be set to anticipated depth and then easily fine-tuned after drywall installation.
Easy grounding — Boxes feature a 10-32 tapped hole for a ground wire and can be ordered with a pre-installed grounding pigtail. 4" square and utility boxes include a raised ground screw bump for quicker surface mounting.
Corrosion protection — Switch and outlet boxes are zinc galvanized for rust and corrosion resistance, with clamps and components electrogalvanized before assembly for full surface protection.
