Reversible electrical box assembly with extensions to match various reveals

摘要

A reversible electrical box for securing electrical fixtures or devices on the exterior wall of a building. The electrical box has an interchangeable rear element and an extension spacer which allow the achievement of a desired reveal depending on the wall finish thickness. It can be installed on unfinished walls upon which a finishing, such as stucco, is then applied or it can be installed as a retrofit on an existing finished wall. Two principal embodiments are shown with the first embodiment serving to attach electrical devices and the second embodiment serving to attach electrical fixtures.

主权项

1. A reversible electrical box assembly configurable for use with various size reveals comprising:
a flange member including a first side, a second side, and an opening therein; a first sidewall surrounding said opening and extending from said first side of said flange member to a first distance and terminating in a planar face; a second sidewall surrounding said opening and extending from said second side of said flange member to a second distance and terminating in a planar face, said second sidewall matching the size and profile of said first sidewall; a hollow spacer for optionally extending the length of said first or second sidewalls; said spacer including a peripheral wall matching the size and profile of said first and second sidewalls; said spacer having two planar faces; a mounting arrangement for mounting said spacer to said first sidewall or said second sidewall as needed for accommodating reveals; a fastening arrangement for securing an electrical component to said sidewalls or said spacer; and a box member for attachment to said first or second sidewalls to provide an electrical box enclosure on one side of said flange member, said box member including a peripheral wall and a back wall with said peripheral wall of said box member matching the size and profile of said first and second sidewalls; said box member having a planar face and an interior space defined by said peripheral wall and back wall.
