PLASTIC BOXES
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Auto/Clamp
®
Eliminates separate cable clamps as well as the tools
usually needed for installation. To install the cable, insert
stripped or non-stripped nonmetallic wire into the
Auto/Clamp®opening and pull through to the desired length.
The cable is automatically secured and the installation is
complete. There are no other operations for the electrician
to perform. Contractors can look forward to saving time
and money with every Auto/Clamp®plastic box installation.
(One cable per Auto Clamp)
Quick/Entry
®
Speeds installation by eliminating needs for tools.
Another time-saving idea is Quick/Entry®, a method that
allows you to push stripped or unstripped nonmetallic cable
into a single plastic box without removing knock-outs.
Jagged edges usually formed in other boxes are
eliminated.
(Multiple cables per Quick-Entry)
Quick/Click
®
Fast, easy and secure installations. The unique, labor
saving Quick/Click®design secures the wiring device quickly
and easily. Simply push in the mounting screws with a
screwdriver and turn the screw one or two turns.
With Quick/Click®mounting, you cannot cross-thread or
strip a device mounting screw.
Auto/Clamp
clamping action
Just push cable
in and pull to
proper length.

Stabilizer
In a 2 x 4 application, the stablizer leg rests against the interior surface of the opposing wall virtually eliminating inward
movement of the box.
Metal
Remove the rear stabilizing bar from its shipping position and
insert the long end into the slot located underneath the drywall stop. For applications with wood studs, break off small
section of stabilizing bar where marked before insertion.
Integral
P122B is optimally sized for Steel studs only. All others may
be used with both steel and wood with little or no deflection.
Proper mounting
position of
stabilizing bar.
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
accommodates 10 through 6 gauge wires.
Box Extender
Per NEC, “In walls or ceilings with a surface of concrete, tile, gypsum, plaster, or other noncombustible 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.
