For New Construction with Stud Mounted Installation Only:
1.
Select the location for mounting the recessed media box.
2. See Figure 2: Break the four (4) retrofit mounting tabs
off. It is very important to break off all four (4) retrofit
mounting tabs when installing for new construction.
3. Using the stud positioning marks – align the recessed
media box to the stud.
4. Using the two supplied wood screws, secure the
recessed media box to the stud through the two (2)
mounting holes.
5. Next, install the drywall (wallboard) with a cutout opening
of approximately 7-3/8” x 5-5/16”.
6. Tighten the four (4) wing bracket mounting screws.
When wing bracket screws are tightened, the box is
drawn firmly against the drywall.
7. Using the four (4) mounting screws, install the flexible
cover plate.
Installation of the recessed media box for new construction is
now complete. See wiring instructions for low voltage and line
voltage installation.
Installation Instructions for Retrofit Only:
1.
Select the location for mounting the recessed media box.
2. The recessed media box is designed to be mounted
between two studs. Using a stud finder, locate and mark
the studs that are behind the drywall. Make sure the
studs are at least 11” apart.
3. Locate the four (4) drywall opening locating pins on the
back of the cover plate (see Figure 3). After selecting
the location for the recessed media plate, press the back
of the cover plate against the drywall allowing the four
drywall opening locating pins to mark the outline of the
recessed cable plate opening on the drywall. Use a ruler
or straight edge object to connect the drywall locating pin
holes to form an opening for the recessed media box.
Using a drywall saw, cut the traced opening out of the
drywall thus creating a hole approximately 7-3/8” x
5-5/16” to insert the recessed media box into the wall.
4. While inserting the recessed media box into the wall, the
four (4) retrofit mounting tabs will stop the recessed
media box at the drywall. Next, tighten the four (4) wing
bracket mounting screws. When wing bracket screws
are tightened, the box is drawn firmly against the drywall.
5. Use the four (4) mounting screws to install the flexible
cover plate.
