The ELK-SWB28 is a universal structured wiring box featuring a pattern of hole-slot-hole that allows it to accommodate accessories,
circuit boards, shelves, brackets, and wiring modules from many different manufacturers. It may flush or surface mounted. Flush
mounting is ideal for hollow frame walls with studs on 16” centers. The minimum rough opening is 14.25” wide, 28.25” high, 3.5” deep.
The SWB28 can be adjusted for varying wall finish thicknesses and the hinged lid extends beyond the box edges approximately 5/8”
which easily conceals uneven cutouts of the wallboard edges.

Pull wires through one or more of
the entry holes. The design of the
SWB28 allows wires to be organized
along the sides. Plastic wire ties can
be used to secure wiring as shown.
3.
If desired, install an electrical outlet in the rectangular knockout on
the lower flange. A standard one gang electrical “J” box is mounted
using #6 Flat Head Self-Tapping Screws (not included)
