Surface Mounting - Viking E-60-SS Product Manual

B. Old Work / Remodel Flush Mounting (Using an Allied Molded 9331 Rough-In Box)
Step 1 Make sure mounting location is free of wall studs, wires, etc..
Place Rough-In box LEVEL against siding. Trace outline of box onto siding. Note: When mounting
to 4 inch or less horizontal lap siding, a siding mounting block can be used. Contact your siding
Step 2
Installer for the correct mounting block part number. Note: A siding mounting block is recommended
when mounting to vinyl siding.
Cut a hole through the siding and wall sheathing just large enough for the rough-in box. Caution:
Step 3
Too large of a hole can cause plate misalignment and compromise the gasket seal.
The front surface of the Rough-In box can be mounted flush against wood siding or can be recessed
Step 4
and mounted flush against wall sheathing when mounting on aluminum, steel or vinyl siding.
When mounting to 5/8 inch thick or less wall sheathing the two attached screws with wing brackets
can be used to secure the rough-in box. When mounting to surfaces thicker than 5/8 inch, four
Step 5
standard flat head dry wall screws can be used to secure the Rough-In box through its mounting
ears.
To maintain a vapor barrier on outside wall applications, caulk around the box, filling any gaps
Step 6
between the box and the rough opening. Apply caulk to any holes in the box around wires, etc.
C. Surface Mounting
A Viking model VE-5x5 can be used to surface mount an E-60 to a wall, post or Viking model VE-
GNP Gooseneck Pedestal (EWP model recommended), see DOD 424 for more information on the
VE-5x5 and VE-GNP. Drill a small wire exit hole in wall. Pull wire through and seal hole around
wire with putty or caulking. Route wire into the VE-5x5 box, securely screw it to wall or post and
seal hole in box around wire with putty or caulking. Attach (2) junction box to double gang adapter
plates (included with E-60) to top and bottom holes of the VE-5x5 prior to mounting the E-60. Note:
Conduit may also be used when surface mounting wire, but should not enter through the top of the
VE-5x5. When routing wiring from above, a drip loop is required. WARNING: Do NOT use a typical
"wet location box" as not all styles seal properly with the E-60 faceplate.
D. Mounting the Faceplate
After the Rough-In box or VE-5x5 is securely mounted, caulking between the box and rough opening
is completed (if required), and wires are connected, remove paper liner from face plate gasket.
While firmly holding the LED light pipe in the faceplate, carefully slide the faceplate gasket over the
back of the light pipe and press gasket to the back of the faceplate. Push the 1-1/4" 6-32 screws
through faceplate holes and small holes in gasket, the faceplate gasket should retain the screws.
Position Circuit board mounting plate over screws. Align screws with single gang box bosses and
tighten face plate until gasket is fully collapsed and the push button is protruding through the
clearance hole in the face plate. Included 1/4" thick gasket will provide an adequate seal for most
siding surfaces; however for rough surfaces (ie: brick, stucco, etc.) additional caulking may be
required.

Optional VE-5x5 Surface Mount Box with black
satin powder paint finish, not included (DOD# 424).
Optional VE-LIGHT kit can be used to illuminate the
faceplate when used with a VE-5x5 (DOD# 428).
WARNING: Do NOT use a wet location box.
* CAUTION: Excessive wire length and/or using a rough-in box with inadequate depth can apply force to the
circuit board causing physical damage.
** Important: Push LED light pipe into faceplate hole, then place faceplate upside down on a clean flat surface
and push down on back side of plate until light pipe is fully seated and straight. WARNING: Inserting the
light pipe more than one time can cause a loose fit.
