should be flush with the finished wall surface or it may protrude slightly. The back box should never be recessed into
the wall. (see Figure 1C). The back box support brackets
should be resting on the sole plate of the stud wall to insure
proper spacing and leveling (see Figure 1B).
6. Using four (4) wood screws or drywall screws or four (4) nails
(field supplied), secure back box to studs (see Figure 1B).
Back box support brackets can now be removed. If not

the backbox on the bottom right-hand side. When making
wattage changes, the installer must circle the wattage on the
white label before installing the heat deck.
