Carlon White Adjustable Floor Box Kit - Low Res - Manual (Page 3)

Installation – New Work Bracket
1. The new work metal bracket may be installed on the
floor joist below a 3/4 inch subfloor. When a thicker
subfloor is used we recommend cutting a hole in the
subfloor using the box as a template and adjacent to
the joist so the mounting screws will engage the joist
as well as the subfloor. Use the four (4) #6 1-3/4"
self-tapping screws suppled with the kit to mount the
bracket.
2. If the new work bracket is installed from the under-
side of the joist, ensure the alignment with the box
and opening before installing the bracket. Use the
four (4) #6 1-1/4" self-tapping screws supplied with
the kit to mount the bracket.
3. The romex wire can then be pulled through the
desired clamp and the box aligned in the bracket
slide. Ensure the adjusting screw is aligned on the
bracket and rotate the screw clockwise using an elec-
tric or pneumatic POWER screw gun. (The adjusting
screw can be turned manually with a screwdriver, but
this is a self-tapping screw that is cutting threads
into hardened steel and it will be very, very difficult.)
4. Adjust the box flush to 1 / 2 " above floor, leaving
sufficient room to complete the installation.
5. Wire the receptacle in accordance with the National
Electrical Code.
6. Cut the top of the tube containing the Dow Corning
#4 sealant and apply an 1/8 inch bead of the sealant
around the outside rib of the cover that mates with
the box. Align the receptacle on the recessed bosses
and place the cover on the box with outlet caps open.
Push cover into the box until rib on bottom of cover
engages with box.
7. Insert the two (2) 6-32x1 inch flat-head machine
screws in the holes in the cover, ensuring that the
screw is aligned with and captivates the receptacle.
DO NOT OVER TORQUE. Tighten the screws to a
maximum of 6 to 8 inch pounds. Ensure bottom of
cover is still engaged with box.
8. Remove the plug on the cover that hides the adjust-
ing screw opening and set it aside where it will not
be misplaced.
9. Using the adjusting screw, adjust the assembly so
cover flange is flush with floor covering. Do not pre-
load the cover against the floor covering. Place the
“button” you previously set aside in a safe place over
the adjusting screw opening.
10. In order to ensure a watertight seal, apply a thin layer
of the Dow Corning #4 sealant around the cap and
cover mating surfaces.
11. Turn the coin slot lock in the center of the cover in
either direction to lock the outlet caps.
Installation – Old Work Bracket
1. As indicated in the prior instructions,
ensure there is sufficient depth of
the floor covering to install the old
work bracket. If not, the bracket
must be installed adjacent to a joist
where the screws will engage the
joist/flooring for support.
2. Use the box as a template and cut
out an opening in the floor cover.
3. Place the bracket on the side of the
opening where it is to be mounted
with the two tabs up and resting on
the surface. (Be careful not to drop
the bracket into the opening.)
4. Install the bracket using the two (2)
square drive trim head screws
provided in the kit. Since the screws
are installed at an angle, there may
be a small part of the screw head
that protrudes. This is to be antici-
pated and will not interfere with the
installation of the box.
5. Use the installation instructions for
the new work bracket from this point
forward starting with step 3.

of the caps and cover be kept free of
debris.
