Installing the Optional Metal Rough-In Box

The optional Metal Rough-In Box (FG037-11) is 10 inches (25.40cm) wide at its widest dimension
(wider than the bezel of the Wall Charging Station), and is only intended for pre construction
installations (FIG. 10). The Metal Rough-In Box is used in conjunction with the Wall Charging Station's
plastic back box. The Metal Rough-In Box must be located behind 3/8" (0.95cm) to 3/4" (1.91cm) of
wall/mounting surface material.

FIG. 10 Typical Metal Rough-In Box Installation
The Metal Rough-In 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 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 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 box to its adjoining studs or spacers.
Ensure that the metal rough-in 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 Back Box.
The 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 rough-in box by
the resident electrician before continuing the installation.
After completing the installation of the Metal Rough-In 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 Back Box.
