 Flush Mount Rough-In Box for Modero X 4.3” Panel

Overview

The Flush Mount Rough-In Box (

FG5968-82

) is an optional accessory for the Modero 

X Series 4.3” Wall Mount Touch Panel. It is designed to be flush mounted in new 
construction applications or drywall. 

The back of the Modero X Series 4.3” Flush Wall Mount Touch Panel is contained 
within a plastic outer housing or 

back box

, and the back box attaches to the Rough-In 

Box. The Rough-In Box kit includes a wall box, cover, and mounting screws.

Specifications

Drywall and Stud Mounting

1.

Remove the cover (

B

 in FIG. 1) off of the rough-in box (

A

) before installation. 

2.

Break the four bent tabs around the front of the box off (Fig C).

3.

Mount the metal box with its leading edge flush with the stud using wood screws 
(not included) through the box flanges and interior.  

4.

Remove the appropriate wiring knockouts from the rough-in box to 

accommodate the cables being threaded through to the wall mount touch panel.

5.

Thread the incoming cable through one of the two knockouts (top or bottom). 
Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate installation of the flush mount 
kit.

6.

After drywall is installed (with cover removed), use a rotary cutting tool or drywall 
saw to cut to the inside dimensions of the rough-in box. If using the included 
front cover, small notches may be needed to clear the four raised tabs on the 
cover. Do not shave off more drywall than necessary for clearance to insure that 
the flush mount kit will cover the entire opening after installation.

NOTE:

 The front cover (B in FIG. 1) should be installed after the appropriate wiring is 

pulled to the Rough-In Box. The cover should then be removed prior to the installation 
of the touch panel back box and discarded.
