Installation
The
E-60-IP
is designed to be flush mounted into a standard double gang rough-in box with minimum inside dimensions of
2.25” deep x 3.65” wide x 2.84” tall. The
E-60-IP
can also be surface mounted using a Viking
VE-5x5
for mounting to a wall,
post or Viking model
VE-GNP
gooseneck pedestal, EWP model recommended (not included, see DOD# 424).
WARNING:
Do
NOT
use a typical “wet location box” as not all styles seal properly with the
E-60-IP
faceplate.
Step 1.
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 (EWP model), 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:
When mounting to 4 inch or less horizontal lap siding, a
siding mounting block can be used. Contact siding installer for the correct mounting block.
Note:
A side mounting block
is recommended when mounting to vinyl siding.
Step 1.
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:
When mounting to 4 inch or less hor-
izontal lap siding, a siding mounting block can be used. Contact your siding Installer for the correct mounting block part
number.
Note:
A siding mounting block is recommended when mounting to vinyl siding.
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.
Step 6.
To maintain a vapor barrier on outside wall applications (EWP model), 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.
