Mounting the H290/H291 AC outlet accessory

H290/H291 installs in any of 4 locations

The H290/H291 accessory brings AC
power inside the H318 and H336
enclosures. The H290/H291 gives the
installer a clean location to mount power
adapters. Mount the H290/H291 in any
corner of the enclosure using the four #6
screws provided. Installation of AC outlets
should be done only by a qualified
electrician.

1/2” knockouts for 120VAC

Wood

Stud

Or, when mounting without
the tabs, use screws in the
four slide mount slots.

1/8”

Stud

Enclosure

When mounting without using

Wallboard

the mounting tabs adjust the
enclosure to protrude 1/8”
beyond the wallboard surface.

Installing cables

Remove the knockouts as needed
and line the holes with the grommets provided.

H272 Grommet

The H290/(H291) provides

OEM

AC ADAPTER

space for 4/(2) standard duplex
receptacles. Wires should exit
the H290/(H291) using the
grommets provided. The
grommets may be cut as shown.

Using wire ties with the OpenHouse grid

1) Fold back tip of
wire tie and insert
into hole

2) Push wire tie slowly
into hole until tip
snaps to next hole

3) Pull tip through
second hole

4) Works
horizontally too

H272

The H318 and H336 enclosures include
H272 grommets. If you need more
grommets, they are available as part
number H272.

Remove paint shield and save.

Route cabling into enclosure.

Use H271 (not included) to

join 2 or more enclosures.

After cabling is routed, reverse paint

shield and return it to the enclosure to

protect cabling.

If H290 is installed, fold flaps on the paint
shield to bend the shield over the H290 AC
outlet accessory.

Coupling tube

Installing the cover

An old electrician’s trick …

When hanging a heavy cabinet cover,
insert two nails (included) through the
mounting holes on the cover. Guide the
nails into the mating holes on the
enclosure and let the cover hang from
the nails while you attach the screws.

Grounding the cabinet

When used with model H290/H291 accessory, the grounding lug on
the H290/H291 is used. Standard #10-32 grounding screws may be
added to the tapped holes top or bottom.

Optional lock kit - H208

Remove knockouts on the cover to install optional lock kit H208. If an H290/H291
is used the cover must be fastened to the enclosure using the included screws
(even when using the lock kit.) This is a UL requirement.
