Overview
For convenience and flexibility, the VE156 / VE606 / VE806 can be mounted
on the wall, ceiling, floor or any surface of your preference.
The dimensions of the VE156 / VE606 / VE806 are made to fit both a standard
one-gang wall box and a single-gang mud ring, which can be purchased at a
hardware store.
For a neat finish, use a wall plate as a cover. For more information on the
