Wood and Steel Stud
Metal Bracket
1. A CT-1 Crimping Tool, is recommended for the installation
of these boxes to steel studs.
Place box flush against side of steel stud, at the required
height, as shown in Figure 1.
Note: If box is to be mounted to a wood stud, use two
holes in the bracket to mount the box with common nails.
2. Place CT-1 tool over flange of stud and box bracket as
shown in Figure 2. Set point of crimping tool spindle in
hole provided between crimping teeth of the bracket.
3. Press handles of crimping tool firmly until teeth on bracket
penetrate steel stud and curl to secure box firmly to the
stud.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to secure the second set of teeth on
the bracket to the steel stud.
5. Multi-gang boxes are provided with a mounting bracket on
each side of the box so that one side can be nailed to a
wood stud or crimped to a steel stud. A phantom stud
(wood or steal) can then be mounted to the remaining
bracket on the box.
This phantom stud is nothing more than a short stud,
which once installed is pressed between the walls,
providing additional support for the box, as shown in
Figure 3.
Integral Plastic Bracket
Mount the box to the stud using two (2) screws (not included). Using the recommended type
of screw in conjunction with the countersunk mounting holes on the box allows for a truer
flush mount.
Recommended Screws: 1/2" minimum #6 flat head wood, drywall, or sheet metal screw.
Range and Dryer
For use with 30A - 60A flush mount receptacles. Factory installed internal cord clamp

Box Extender
Per NEC, “In walls or ceilings with a surface of concrete, tile, gypsum, plaster, or other non-
combustible material, boxes shall be installed so that the front edge of the box will not be set
back of the finished surface more than 6mm (1/4"). In walls and ceilings constructed of wood or
other combustible surface material, boxes shall be flush with the finished surface or project
therefrom.”
Pass & Seymour extension rings (available in 1 and 2 gang) are 1/4" thick and are stackable to
any desired thickness in 1/4" increments. A longer (#6-32) mounting screw may be required in
some applications.
