shape of the screw holes allow you to position the HS-1D so
that it is vertical. Position the HS-1D so that the screws are
aligned with the threaded holes in the electrical box or p-
ring. Tighten the screws using a phillips screwdriver. DO
NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. In some instances, you may need to
loosen these screws several turns to allow the HS-1D to fit
flush with the Decora cover plate. See (Figure 4).
5. Use the shorter plate screws to fasten the Decora cover
plate to the HS-1D. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE PLATE
SCREWS OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE COVER PLATE. Line up
all the screws in the same direction for a finished look.
NOTE: Certain "old work" or "retro-fit" boxes, such as the
Figure 4
Loosening the Screws
Carlon B225R, have a plastic "lip" which interferes with the
for a Flush Fit
Decora plate screws. This lip prevents you from being able to
tighten these screws completely. To make the clearance nec-
essary for these screws, you must remove the parts of the lip
causing the interference. There are two ways to accomplish
this:
1. Drill through the lip of the box at the screw points.
2. Cut notches into the lip with a pair of diagonal cutters.
