Hinged Lid!
28” STRUCTURED WIRING BOX
INSTALLA TION
The ELK-SWB28 box may be flush or surface mounted. Flush mounting is ideal for hollow frame walls with studs on 16” centers.
The minimum rough opening is 14.25” wide, 28.25” high, 3.5” deep. The SWB28 can be adjusted for varying wall finish thicknesses
and the hinged lid extends beyond the box edges approximately 5/8” which easily conceals uneven cutouts of the wallboard edges.
It’s universal design features a hole-slot-hole mounting system that allows it to accommodate shelves, brackets, wire modules and
equipment from many different manufacturers.
NEW CONSTRUCTION ROUGH-IN
A) Pilot drill 1/8” holes on the left and right studs approximately 64”
up from the floor and 1” from the front edge. This allows for 1/2”
wall finish (sheetrock, etc.) with room for adjustment.
1“
B) Position the box and install a #10 screw (not included) in the upper
left and right horizontal slots using the pilot holes. Adjust the box
edge 1” from the stud face and tighten screws. Then install
screws in the lower 2 slots.
C) If desired, install an electrical outlet in the rectangular knockout on
the lower flange. A standard one gang electrical “J” box is
mounted using #6 Flat Head Self-Tapping Screws (not included)
INST ALLING THE LID AFTER WALLBOARD INSTALLATION AND/OR PAINTING
E) To install the lid, start two (2) 6-32 x 3/8” type F sheet metal screws
into the top and bottom holes of the hinge as shown below.
D) Pull wires through one or more of the entry holes. The design of
the SWB28 allows wires to be organized along the sides. Plastic
wire ties can be used to secure wiring as shown.
Tie Wrap
F) Hold lid against the left side of the box and align the two 6-32
screw heads (from step E) with the slotted (key) holes on the box.
Move lid to right until the screws engage the slots, then lower into
place. BOX MAY BE ADJUSTED FOR WARD AND BACK AS
NEEDED. Tighten the first 2 screws, then install the remaining 4
screws. Door should open and close freely.
