using wire connectors wiring diagram, pg. 3).
e. Ground the back box using the green screw located in the inside
top of the housing.
f. Secure disconnect switch bracket in place by tightening screws.
Installation of Recessed Back Box
in Existing Construction
1. Provide a wall opening 14-1/2" (362mm) wide by 18-1/2"
(470mm) high at the desired mounting height, but no closer than
8" (203mm) from floor. (See Figure 2.)
2. Power Supply Wiring

a. Run a power supply cable into the area above the top of the wall
opening. All wiring must be in accordance with National and
Local electrical codes. Refer to Table 1 for correct wire size.
b. Remove disconnect switch bracket by loosening the two screws
on the right side.
c. Install a cable clamp in the "knockout" in the top of back box.
d. Insert power supply cable through cable clamp, allowing
approximately 6" (152mm) of cable length to remain inside the
back box to facilitate connections.
3. Mounting Back Box
a. Place the back box into wall opening flush with finished wall
surface on bottom and sides of box. (Top flange of back box
should protrude approximately 1/2" or 12.7mm from finished
