Abstract
An electrical service module for wall installation is disclosed. The module includes upper and lower plate assemblies which extend between adjacent studs and are supported at their ends on such studs. Various types of electrical outlets are mounted on such plate assemblies and are supplied with conductors which extend along the wall cavity. A cover is removably installed to cover the opening of the module, and provides a resilient seal around its periphery to seal the module opening. The cover is spaced from the wall along at least two edges and the seal is locally compressed by conductors or cords extending into the module along such edges.
