Isn't the standard to push in the roto zip until it goes through the back of the box, cutting off all the wires as the drywall is routed out?
I don't think there is a code that would prevent this. However why would you want to expose your devices to drywall mud, plaster, paint and such.
Besides how can a competent drywall job occur. :happysad:
I was not on any of these jobs but the company I work for has done some large apartment buildings. They prefabed a lot of things and yes the devices where installed before the drywall.
I have no idea how the drywall was installed after but as far as I know it worked for us and they would do it again.
......and in cases with multiple devices , that there is a ground for each device. ........
have you ever.
1/2" rock use 5/8" mudring
5/8" rock use 3/4" mudring.
All the time as I feel that is the correct way.
I am sure you know this part, it is more for others. If you measure a ring you find a 1/2" ring is 1/2" overall so the raised section is less than that.
Going hunting for some pictures.
The sheetrock hits the 8/32's that hold the rings on, which is roughly 1/8", making the ring finish out more flush if they are 1/8" deeper than the rock.
