EXCAVATION

Excavate soil for housing placement and conduit runs. Contour the hole to the shape of the transformer
housing, allowing 3" min. around and under the transformer housing for the placement of granular material. It is
recommended that fixtures not be placed in low locations where water could accumulate and stand for long
periods of time.

DRAINAGE

Transformer housing should be surrounded by a 3" minimum layer of gravel or sand to insure proper drainage.
For concrete pour installations, box is to be placed on a 4" minimum bed of gravel with soil below. Use the PVC
Concrete Pour Kit accessory when installing in concrete. When backfilling, flange should be just above ground
level as sown in the illustration. Hilling up earth around the box will promote good water run-off and prevent
debris accumulation.

WIRING: TBC303-15/BTBC303-15

1. Remove packing material from inside housing.

2. Always be sure to turn power OFF when installing or servicing a transformer box.

3. Using a liquid tight connector (not included) in the open threaded hole in the bottom of the box, connect

white supply wire to white wire from box labled, "120V COM". Connect black supply wire to black wire from

5. Using a liquid tight connector (not included) in one of the plugged holes in the bottom of the box, connect
