Old Work Box-Screw Mount

[augie47]

I'm at a loss. I have seen, but can't locate manufacturer, a plastic old work box with provisions for screw mounting on the side wall. Who makes these, please ?

 

[brichter]

Arlington makes them.

 

[Sierrasparky]

Arlington for sure

 

[augie47]

Thanks..That's it. Only problem, no local supplier stocks them

Got a link Gus, or a part number? These boxes screw into a stud as in fire wall use?

 

[augie47]

The Arlingtion F101 was what I was searching for. (or equivelant)

Sounds like you need a Smart Box.

If you are going to use a "Smart Box" for display, I am pretty sure they will send you some samples. I got some about a year ago.

Am I the only one here who has used a nail-on and cut off the nails and screwed through the side?

I did til I found the A-I boxes. They are fantastic

Depends. Did everyone else comply with 314.43?:roll:

These Allied boxes are far better than the smartbox. When my Smartbox supply is depleted these will replace them.

If anybody tells you they've never done that then they are lying.

Cutting a hole in drywall using the Fein Multimaster for the Arlington One-Box comes out really nicely.

And as far as using a nail-on box for old work... well it works but its not very secure. The One-Box I use is actually just the right depth to fit perfectly in a 2x4 wall so it butts up against the wall behind it. Holds it firm in place for driving the screws in.

Got me a smart box!

Oh yah, don't forget the fender washers.
