Figure 2-3 — Attaching a mud ring to a wall
If you are using a wall box
, insert the wall box into the
opening, and attach it to the wall stud or furniture with
nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer
wall or furniture surface (figure 2-4).
If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10
screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of ½ inch (1.3 cm)
of screw threads must penetrate the wood.
If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use
four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine
bolts with matching nuts.
