Installation
A. New Construction Flush Mounting
B. Old Work / Remodel Flush Mounting (Using an recommended Carlon BH234R
Rough-In Box)
C. Surface Mounting
Step 1
Recommended mounting heighy to bottom of the rough-in box is 50” - 54”. Front of box
should stick out approximately ½" from front surface of wall stud (this may vary depending
on the walls sheathing and siding thickness).
Caution:
Rough-In box must be mounted
LEVEL
and must
NOT
stick out beyond the front surface of siding.
Step 2
To maintain a vapor barrier on outside wall applications, caulk around the box, filling any
gaps between the box and the rough opening. Apply caulk to any holes in the box around
wires, etc.
Step 3
When installing siding cut a hole just large enough for the Rough-In box opening.
Caution:
Too large of a hole can cause plate misalignment and compromise the gasket
seal.
Note:
A siding mounting block is recommended when mounting to vinyl siding or
siding with a 4 inch or less horizontal lap. Contact siding installer for the correct mounting
block.
Step 1
Recommended mounting heighy to bottom of the rough-in box is 50” - 54”. Make sure
mounting location is free of wall studs, wires, etc.
.
Step 2
Place Rough-In box
LEVEL
against siding. Trace outline of box onto siding.
Note:
A
siding mounting block is recommended when mounting to vinyl siding or siding with a
4 inch or less horizontal lap. Contact siding installer for the correct mounting block.
Step 3
Cut a hole through the siding and wall sheathing just large enough for the rough-in box.
Caution:
Too large of a hole can cause plate misalignment and compromise the gasket
seal
.
Step 4
The front surface of the Rough-In box can be mounted flush against wood siding or
can be recessed and mounted flush against wall sheathing when mounting on
aluminum, steel or vinyl siding.
Step 5
When mounting to 5/8 inch thick or less wall sheathing the two attached screws with
wing brackets can be used to secure the rough-in box. When mounting to surfaces
thicker than 5/8 inch, four standard flat head dry wall screws can be used to secure the
Rough-In box through its mounting ears. (See page 4 Section D.)
Step 6
To maintain a vapor barrier on outside wall applications, caulk around the box, filling
any gaps between the box and the rough opening. Apply caulk to any holes in the box
around wires, etc.
The
E-70
is designed to be flush mounted into a double gang rough-in box with minimum inside
dimensions of 2.25” deep x 3.65” wide x 2.84” tall. The
E-70
can also be surface mounted in a Viking
model
VE-5x5
(not included, see
DOD# 424
).
WARNING:
Do
NOT
use a typical “wet location box” as not all styles seal properly with the
E-70
faceplate.
A Viking model
VE-5x5
can be used to surface mount an
E-70
to a wall or post. ecommended
mounting heighy to bottom of the rough-in box is 50” - 54”. Drill a small wire exit hole in wall. Pull
wire through and seal hole around wire with putty or caulking. Route wire into the
VE-5x5
box,
securely screw it to wall or post and seal hole in box around wire with putty or caulking.
Note:
Conduit may also be used when surface mounting wire, but should not enter through the top of the
VE-5x5
. When routing wiring from above, a drip loop is required.
WARNING:
Do
NOT
use a typical
“wet location box” as not all styles seal properly with the
E-7 0
faceplate.
