Application
Trim kits are used to cosmetically cover wall openings when boxes are mounted semi-flush
into the wall. The kit includes:
• Two top trim bands (shorter)
• Two side trim bands (longer)
• Four corner pieces.
Figure 2-3 Semi-Flush Trim Kit
After mounting the box semi-flush to the wall, attach the trim per the following procedure:
1. The strips need to be cut before being attached. Carefully
cut them to length using a hacksaw or sharp utility knife.
Cut the strips approximately 1" (25 mm) shorter than the
box dimension. The box is 20-7/8" (530 mm) wide and
20-3/16" (512 mm) high.
2. Attach the strips one at the time. Peel off the adhesive tape
release and center the strip on the box placing the edge of
the strip against the box surface, then press down solidly to
assure adhesion.
3. Each corner piece overlaps the trim strip slightly less than
3/4" (19 mm). Align the corner pieces tight to the box
corner and attach with a drywall or similar screw, suitable
for the wall material (screws are not supplied).
