STEP 7 

 INSTALL 

After your shunt box is completely dry, next we will install on the layout. Depending on 
your subbase (foam, hardboard, plaster shell, or plywood) will determine the type of 
tool used to create your placement holes.  

Using the shunt box legs, mark the location with a pencil or in the case of a softer 
subbase like foam make indentions. Continue with creating the placement holes.  

 

 

Your hole should be large enough to insert the legs and conduit adjacent. In the photo 
below I used a clean toothpick to ensure the conduit wires did not become detached or 
not go into the hole. Once satisfied with fit, secure with a small amount of white glue.
