Installation – New Work Metal Bracket

1. The new work metal bracket may be installed on

the floor joist below a 3/4 inch subfloor. When a
thicker subfloor is used it is recommended
cutting a hole in the subfloor, using the low
voltage orange bracket as a template, and
located adjacent to the joist so the mounting
screws will engage the joist as well as the 
subfloor. Use the four (4) #6 X 1-3/4" long 
self-tapping screws supplied with the kit to
mount the metal bracket.

2. If the new work bracket is installed from the

underside of the subflooring, ensure the 
alignment with the low voltage orange bracket
and opening before installing the bracket. Use
the four (4) #6 X 1-1/4" long self-tapping
screws supplied with the kit to mount the 
metal bracket.

3. The low voltage cables can then be pulled

through the orange bracket and the orange
bracket aligned in the metal bracket slide.
Ensure the adjusting screw is aligned on the
metal bracket and rotate the screw clockwise
using an electric screwdriver.  

4. Adjust the orange bracket flush to 1/2" above

floor, leaving sufficient room to complete the
installation.

5. Install the necessary low voltage connectors/jacks

(not provided) into the provided low voltage

Insert. Wire the

low voltage connectors in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and your local codes.

6. If using brass cover, unscrew green ground

wire and discard. It is not needed for low 
voltage applications.

7. Place the cover on the orange bracket with 

outlet caps open. Push cover into the box until
rib on bottom of cover engages with orange
bracket.

8. Insert the two (2) #6-32 X 1 inch flat-head

machine screws in the holes in the cover,
ensuring that the screw is aligned with and 
captivates the low voltage insert. DO NOT OVER
TORQUE. Tighten the screws to a maximum of
6 to 8 inch pounds. Ensure bottom of cover is
still engaged with orange bracket.

8. Remove the plug on the cover that hides the

adjusting screw opening and set it aside where
it will not be misplaced.

10. Using the adjusting screw, adjust the assembly so

cover flange is flush with floor covering. Do not 
preload the cover against the floor covering. Replace
the plug over the adjusting screw opening.

11. Turn the coin slot lock in the center of the

cover in either direction to lock the outlet caps.

Installation – Old Work Metal Bracket

1. As indicated in the prior instructions,

ensure there is sufficient depth of
the floor covering to install the old
work metal bracket. If not, the metal
bracket must be installed adjacent to
a joist where the screws will engage
the joist/flooring for support.

2. Use the orange bracket as a 

template and cut out an opening 
in the floor.

3. Place the metal bracket on the side

of the opening where it is to be
mounted with the two tabs up and
resting on the top of the surface. 

4. Secure the metal bracket using 

the two (2) square drive trim head
screws provided in the kit. Since 
the screws are installed at an angle,
there may be a small part of the
screw head that protrudes. This is to
be anticipated and will not interfere
with the installation of the orange
bracket.

5. Use the installation instructions for

the new work metal bracket from
this point forward starting with step 3.

MAINTENANCE

To ensure continued service, it is 
recommended that the sealing surfaces
of the caps and cover be kept free of
debris.
