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.
