Installing the Optional Metal Conduit Box

The optional metal conduit box (FIG. 14) is 10 inches wide at its widest dimension, and is intended to be used in conjunction with the plastic conduit box in circumstances where additional support is needed for the Wall Charging Station. The box requires an appropriate spacer if used within a standard 16" stud space. Without the Metal Conduit Box, the supported minimum wall thickness is 1/2" (1.27cm), and the maximum is 7/8" (2.22cm). With the Metal Conduit Box, the minimum supported wall thickness is 3/8" (0.95cm), and the maximum is 3/4" (1.91cm).

FIG. 14 Typical Metal Conduit Box Installation

The metal conduit box bears a wing on each corner which is intended to bridge gaps between studs and/ or spacers. These wings may be bent carefully in order to fit a particular gap, but may not be so bent as to allow the conduit box to hang in a vertical position. Once placed in the desired position, put at least one screw through each wing into the adjoining stud or spacer to secure it.

The interior of the conduit box contains a set of holes on either side, as well as top and bottom, for standard 1/4-inch screws. Use these holes to anchor the conduit box to its adjoining studs or spacers.

Ensure that the metal conduit box is flush with the 2x4 studs. Any overhang will affect the installation of the covering sheetrock, as well as affect the placement of the plastic conduit box.

The conduit box has two sets of knockouts in the top and bottom, one of the set for US wiring and one for international wiring.

Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal conduit box by the resident electrician before continuing the installation.

After completing the installation of the metal conduit box, install sheet rock or other wall material over the box, cut a hole matching the size of the inside diameter in the sheet rock, and clean out all dust before proceeding with the installation of the plastic conduit box.
