Say, does this listing buisiness mean my old method of screwing a cut length of 2x4 lumber to the studs behind the box and then screw mounting the box to the stud backing not meet code?

Re: caddy rbs16

For me it's very unclear where, if anywhere the line is between something's listing and accepted practice. In some cases it's fairly obvious but in others I have no idea at all.

In the example you bring up I don't see how, say a boxes listing, would apply. A stud wall isn't listed. Is a particular box listed for use only when attached to a specific stud wall configuration? Maybe. But I doubt it.

I've said before that I don't even know where to find a lot of these listings. Some of the stuff I see posted here I can't find on manufacturer documentation. I know I'm gonna catch it for this but I don't put as much faith in outfits like UL that some other folks do either. I've seen some real bad stuff with UL stamped on it.
