1. WARNING: TEST THAT POWER IS OFF AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR

FUSE BLOCK!

2. Determine approximate location (which joists to put it between) and

route cable(s) to joist cavity and fasten cable within 12" of proposed
opening per NEC 334.30 leaving large enough loop to later install box
after finishing floor installation.

3. Determine box location and

drill four 3/4" diameter holes
using

template

“A”

for

WMFB1 series or template
“B” for WMFB2 series.

Note: When installing tile,
marble or hardwood flooring,
you may want to wait to cut
the

opening

during

the

finished floor installation to
ensure the opening in the
floor does not end up in the
middle of a tile or hardwood
plank.

4. Cut remainder of opening

using the appropriate tem-
plate

by

connecting

the

edges of the holes.

5. Complete the finished floor

installation

up

to

the

previously

cut

opening,

ensuring the box will still fit
into opening.

6. Pull the wires through the

opening in floor and into the
auto-clamp feature. Knock-
outs are provided for low
voltage cables if desired. If
Romex-type

NM

cable

is

routed through the knockouts,
an approved wire clamp must
be used.

7. Attach box to flooring using

either the four #6 drywall
screws included or use the
assembled swing brackets.
Tighten screws firmly. When
assembling

to

carpet,

the

carpet

may

need

to

be

trimmed back to ensure the
box flange sets flush. Trim only
the carpet loops/shag and
leave the carpet backing under
the flange for security. Cut the
padding back 1-2" larger than
the opening to ensure the
device seats firmly and flush to
the floor.

8. Install device(s) per appropriate

installation instructions below.
