STEPS 2, 3, 4: Preparing and Mounting the Wirebox
This procedure has 4 different variations depending on the chosen wire entry
option, but the general order of steps will be the same for all wire entry options:
- Drill 5 mm holes into the wirebox*. If wiring for rear entry, use step bit.
- Use cardboard template to plan or
drill pilot holes into mounting surface*. A 2.5 mm pilot hole is recommended for
most surfaces. NoteDrill larger pilot holes that can accommodate 6 mm wall plugs if installing on concrete, masonry, or similar materials.NoteInstaller can adjust pilot hole size based on mounting surfaceNoteUse a level to ensure that the template is completely level.
- Attach wirebox to mounting
surface using included fasteners, which include an integrated sealing washer.
The fastener head is compatible with both #2 Phillips or #2 square head bit.
Attach conduit/fittings and bring in conductor wires*.NoteIt is the responsibility of the installer to select appropriate conduit/fitting materials for the installation.
