Elk Products ELK-SWB28 Installation Manual

ELK
PRODUCTS, INC.
The ELK-SWB28 is a universal structured wiring box featuring a pattern of hole-slot-hole that allows it to accommodate accessories,
circuit boards, shelves, brackets, and wiring modules from many different manufacturers. It may flush or surface mounted. Flush
mounting is ideal for hollow frame walls with studs on 16" centers. The minimum rough opening is 14.25" wide, 28.25" high, 3.5" deep.
The SWB28 can be adjusted for varying wall finish thicknesses and the hinged lid extends beyond the box edges approximately 5/8"
which easily conceals uneven cutouts of the wallboard edges.
1. Remove any conduit knockouts prior to mounting the box.
Only these two (2) knockouts may be used if an M1 Control is installed!
These two (2) knockouts CANNOT be used if
an M1 Control is installed.
3. If desired, install an electrical outlet in the rectangular knockout on
the lower flange. A standard one gang electrical "J" box is mounted
using #6 Flat Head Self-Tapping Screws (not included)
INSTALLING THE LID AFTER WALLBOARD INSTALLATION AND/OR PAINTING
5. To install the lid, start two (2) 6-32 x 3/8" type F sheet metal screws
into the top and bottom holes of the hinge as shown below. Hold lid
against left side of box and align the two 6-32 screw heads with the
slotted (key) holes on the box.

28" STRUCTURED WIRING BOX
2. Pilot drill 1/8" holes on the left
and right studs approximately
64" up from the floor and 1" from
the front edge. This allows for
1/2" wall finish (sheetrock, etc.)
with room for adjustment.
4. Pull wires through one or more of
the entry holes. The design of the
SWB28 allows wires to be organized
along the sides. Plastic wire ties can
be used to secure wiring as shown.
Move lid right until the screws engage the slots, then lower into place.
BOX MAY BE ADJUSTED FORWARD AND BACK AS NEEDED. Tight-
en the first 2 screws, then install the remaining 4 screws. Door should
open and close freely.
