Carlon adjust a box - Electrician Talk - Professional Electrical Contractors Forum

NJWVUGrad · 08-02-2013, 10:27 PM

Just picked a few of these up. Customer hasn't decided on wall finish on kitchen yet, figured it would be nice to be able to adjust depth instead of adding box extenders or shims

Anyone have experiences with these?

I use them just because their blue! They are nice for other reasons. I've had to increase the number of gangs and just run the old one out. Cut the hole bigger and run the new one in, slick!

My cousin swears by them but where I live we can't use plastic boxes or NM so unfortunately i have little experience with all these nice residential products!

They work great for the outside receptacles when the house is stuccoed.

Even I use the Carlon Blues for kitchens and baths. It's too foolish not to with the amount of hacks out there today.

love them, all a use for kitchens, never fails that when trim out time comes you walk into tile, and none told about it at rough in.
