Installing the Optional Metal Rough-In Box
The optional metal rough-in box (FG037-11) is 10 inches (25.40cm) wide at its widest dimension (wider
than the bezel of the Wall Charging Station), and is only intended for pre construction installations
(FIG. 14). The Metal Rough-In Box is used in conjunction with the Wall Charging Station’s plastic back
box. The Metal Rough-In Box must be located behind 3/8" (0.95cm) to 3/4" (1.91cm) of wall/mounting
surface material.
The metal rough-in box bears a wing on each corner which is intended to bridge gaps between studs and/
or spacers. These wings may be bent carefully in order to fit a particular gap, but may not be so bent as to
allow the box to hang in a vertical position. Once placed in the desired position, put at least one screw
through each wing into the adjoining stud or spacer to secure it.
The interior of the box contains a set of holes on either side, as well as top and bottom, for standard 1/4-
inch screws. Use these holes to anchor the box to its adjoining studs or spacers.
The box has two sets of knockouts in the top and bottom, one of the set for US wiring and one for
international wiring.
After completing the installation of the metal rough-in box, install sheet rock or other wall material over
the box, cut a hole matching the size of the inside diameter in the sheet rock, and clean out all dust before
proceeding with the installation of the plastic back box.
FIG. 14 Typical metal Rough-In Box Installation
Install front surface of box
flush with surface of wall stud
Ensure that the metal rough-in box is flush with the 2x4 studs. Any overhang will
affect the installation of the covering sheetrock, as well as affect the placement of the
Plastic Back Box.
Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal rough-in box by
the resident electrician before continuing the installation.
