MOUNTING OPTIONS
If there isn’t an existing UL (cUL for Canadian Installation) listed
mounting box, then read the following instructions. Disconnect the
power by removing fuses or turning o circuit breakers.
Secure the outlet box directly to the building structure. Use
appropriate fasteners and building materials. The outlet box and its
