SM-RBX-PRO-8-BLK Installation Manual
Old Work Installation Instructions
1. Mark the desired height of the top of the SM-RBX-PRO-8-BLK on the wall
between two stud centers. Use a stud finder to locate the stud locations.
2. Use the cutout template from the box, or located on the support tab of the
product page on snapav.com to mark the wall, using a level to line it up
correctly.
3. Carefully cut the opening using a drywall saw.
4. After the hole is cut, test fit the box, and clean up the
opening as needed.
5. Remove the center support plate from the Strong VersaBox™. The platform
standoffs must be removed prior to securing the VersaBox Pro with lag
bolts. See: Changing the Center Support Plate position.
6. Insert the box into the opening. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, secure
the box to the drywall using the dog legs on each side of the enclosure as
illustrated.
7. Install the trim/bezel with 8 screws on the inside edge for a finished look.
Note:
If any of the 4 dog legs will not extend correctly due to stud clearance
beside the box, a screw may be inserted through the side of the box into
the stud if one is close enough. Refer to the New Work Installation section
later in the manual for reference of where to insert the screw/s.
If mounting vertically, the trim/bezel must be installed first and all four dog
ears must be engaged.

New Work Installation Instructions
The SM-RBX-PRO-8-BLK dust cover is designed to preserve the Strong In-Wall VersaBox in new work applications before drywall
is hung on the studs.
Note:
Determine what thickness the drywall will be, before installing. If the studs are wider than 16” use dog ears once the drywall is
installed. You cannot mount vertically in new installs. To mount vertically, the dog ears must clasp the drywall.
Strong VersaBox™ Pro Installation (before drywall is installed)
1. Remove the center support plate from the VersaBox Pro. The platform
standoffs must be removed prior to securing the VersaBox Pro with lag bolts.
See: Changing the Center Support Plate position.
2. Open any knockouts in the VersaBox Pro that will be used for wiring or
electrical.
3. Pull the wires out of the wall opening and pull them into the desired openings
of the VersaBox.
4. Attach the VersaBox Pro to the studs with the 4 included lag bolts and protect
the inside of the VersaBox Pro from the drywall install by inserting the dust
cover.
5. Once drywall is installed, remove the dust cover, attach the trim/bezel, and
install equipment.
