Each mud ring kit includes an expansion kit consisting of two small top/bottom
segments that allow the mud ring to be enlarged or reduced to the next larger or
smaller gang size. See “Modifying the mud ring,” below.
Modifying the mud ring
Each mud ring size, 1-gang through 7-gang, can be modified to make the mud ring
one gang-size larger or smaller. You can resize the mud ring by adding a top and
bottom segment, removing a top and bottom segment, or replacing one size top and
bottom segment with another. See the following diagram.
