TouchSmart Mounting Box
There are two options for mounting the TouchSmart box that houses the controls for the fireplace. The retrofit box
option is used when the wall is already finished with drywall or the desired location is not close to a framing member.
The second option (and most commonly used) is the New install box. This option is best used prior to drywall
installation. The two options for the Mounting box installation are detailed below.
Identify an appropriate location for the control box. The location should have a clear path for the harness to be routed
from the fireplace and be within reach of the length of CAT5 cable ordered with the fireplace.
NOTE:
Make sure to route the CAT5 cable to the Mounting Box and secure with zip tie(s). If drywall installation or
other construction is occurring after the box installation, mask the Mounting Box to prevent debris from accumulating.

Retrofit Box Installation
Determine a location between studs.
Cut a 4”W x 3-5/8”H hole in the drywall.
Attach the three magnets with felt pads to the
TouchSmart Mounting Plate as seen in the picture below.
Loosely attach the Mounting Back Plate to the Touch
Screen Mounting Plate using one of the included 8-32 X
1.5” screws (
make the large hole in the on the
Mounting Plate and box line up
). The angled edges of
the Back Plate should face forward.
Insert the Backing Plate into the hole in the drywall.
Make sure that the large hole is in the upper right
hand corner
.
Install the second screw through the Mounting Plate into
the Backing Plate. Tighten both screws until the
Mounting Plate is secure against the drywall.
New Install Box Installation
Bend the tabs outward on the New Install Mounting Box
(use 2 or 3 tabs, depending upon mounting position).
Attach the box to the framing (either from side or
bottom).
Make sure that the large hole is in the upper
right hand corner and the tabs of the box are flush
with framing
.
The drywall must be installed prior to continuing to step 3
below. When installed, the drywall will require a 4”W x 3-
5/8”H hole for the mounting box.
Attach the three magnets with felt pads to the Mounting
Plate as shown below. Attach the Mounting Plate to the
box with the two screws (
make the large hole in the on
the Mounting Plate and box line up
). The Mounting
Plate will fit flush against the drywall.
