Abstract
The Flush Wallplate Electrical Box Assembly deploys and constrains an electrical wallplate such that the wallplate finished face is essentially co-planar to the surrounding wall assembly finish material finished surface. The assembly is comprised of flush wallplate electrical box possessing an integral housing intended to receive the electrical wallplate, an interface flange serving to interface between the electrical box and wall assembly finish materials, an interface placement guide to control the positioning of the interface flange and an element to protect wiring inside the electrical box during wall assembly construction. The form of the electrical box provides for a building and electrical code compliant installation and simplifies box positioning providing minimum variability. The interface flange provides for a consistent termination of wall assembly materials at the periphery of the electrical box.
