Installing the Optional Metal Conduit Box
The optional metal conduit box (FIG. 14) is 10 inches wide at its widest dimension, and is intended to be
used in conjunction with the plastic conduit box in circumstances where additional support is needed for
the Wall Charging Station. The box requires an appropriate spacer if used within a standard 16" stud
space. Without the Metal Conduit Box, the supported minimum wall thickness is 1/2" (1.27cm), and the
maximum is 7/8" (2.22cm). With the Metal Conduit Box, the minimum supported wall thickness is
3/8" (0.95cm), and the maximum is 3/4" (1.91cm).
The metal conduit 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 conduit 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 conduit 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 conduit box to its adjoining studs or spacers.
The conduit 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 conduit 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 conduit box.
FIG. 14 Typical Metal Conduit Box Installation
Install front surface of conduit box
flush with surface of wall stud
Ensure that the metal conduit 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 conduit box.
Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal conduit box by the
resident electrician before continuing the installation.
