Single Gang Application

Two Gang Application
1. Two single gang boxes are required (2 pieces of E976RFB).
2. Remove the appropriate side of each box to gang them properly. (Fig. 1) Slide
boxes together by aligning the top interlocking tabs on the side of the base
and the bottom tabs and slots. (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) THESE BOXES DO NOT
SNAP TOGETHER; THEY SLIDE TOGETHER!
Three Gang Application
1. Three single gang boxes are required (3 pieces of E976RFB).
2. Repeat step 2 under Two Gang Application instructions.
NOTE: When ganging 2 or 3 boxes, you must apply a piece of duct tape along
each side and bottom seam. (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5)
1. Set box on level surface with minimum concrete pour of 3 1 / 2 " .
NOTE: With 3 1 / 2 " concrete pour, space for cord plug between electrical device
and closed cover is 7 / 8 " .
2. Set the box so there is a minimum 1 / 2 " exposure after concrete pour.
IMPORTANT! For above grade installation, provide adequate concrete thickness
under the floor to preserve the fire rating of the floor in accordance with the
building codes.
3. Secure plastic cap to floor box before pour by cross taping the cap.(Fig.6)
a. For two gang applications, cut the edge of one cap, then overlap the second.
Duct tape the underside seam.
b. For three gang applications, cut both edges of center cap. Overlap both
outer caps onto center cap and duct tape both underside seams.
Conduit Connections
1. Use Carlon PVC cement to adhere Carlon Plus 40 or Carlon Plus 80
nonmetallic conduit or Flex Plus Blue ENT (electrical nonmetallic tubing) to
utilized ports.
2. To feed parallel runs of 3 / 4 " conduit use Carlon “Y” adapter E972Y.
3. Use Carlon PVC cement to adhere reducer-plugs (provided with Floor Box) to
seal off unused conduit openings.
4. Floor box sides may be drilled for conduit feeds; to access, stay above
noticeable “scribe lines” on side. (Fig.7)
