17-inch Dual-Purpose In-Wall Enclosure

You can source the same electrical box components Legrand uses or alternatives. I used a 3 in. x 2 in. x 2-1/2 in 1-Gang Steel Old Work Switch Box. I secured it to the enclosure with #4-40 pan head machine screws. Since metal, you need to connect the incoming ground to the box as well as the duplex outlet. These boxes come with a #6-32 hole for a ground screw to attach a ground wire. You can use most outlets but be aware you will need to snip off metal tabs that will interfere with the afore mentioned mounting screws. So stay away from the odd outlet that does not have the tabs. The tabs will be scored to make them easier to remove with pliers or clippers. Doing this instead of using the Legrand kits allows you more freedom in selecting outlets and face plates. Regarding faceplates, since the enclosure is fairly shallow, you must use standard size face plates. Be aware I found one brand/model standard face plate that was more than the standard 2.75" wide. Watch out.

By using an arlington LV1 or equivalent “old work” cut in ring (open back for low voltage and closed back for electrical) in addition to a couple 2”x1”x1/2” scraps of material behind the pop out wings will allow you to mount standard duplex electrical or low voltage receptacles into either of the top two or bottom (1) knockouts.  I use these at the pre wire and have electric placed in the bottom with a code compliant box and data/audio/hdmi in the top with a open back ring and keystone plate or passthru plate.  These are wonderful for network rooms and for use behind “frame” or any wall mounted TV with a little forethought.  Additional add ons allow you to layer in or shelf additional components.  This gets tedious but it will fit a “one connect” plus other goodies behind a tv or a 48 port switch x2 in a network closet with some finesse.  The larger “cans” have hinged lids instead of these nifty pop out panels so read details closely on what you order

The enclosure can have either side being the top or bottom. There's 2 outlet knockouts for the standard bottom side configuration and 1 for the top. If you invert this setup you have 2 @ the top and 1 at the bottom. That being said I would keep the 2 towards the bottom and 1 @ the top unless you plan to have the cabling come in from the bottom and that would be extremely weird unless this isn't being placed on the 1st floor or your placing high up on the wall. You can do whatever you want but the standard setup is the most common way to do this. Also you could just as easy set 1 box at the top and 1 @ the bottom or have 3 outlets in the enclosure overall.

The concern is plastic deformation. While the unit will not spontaneously fail at that temperature, The plastic could experience excess shrinkage at those lower temps. Over a long period of time the plastic may experience cracking due to temperature stresses. If any of this are a hindrance to your use of this product, please consider the Legrand | AV CHIEF PAC series metal wall boxes.

The enclosure is listed for indoor use only. Please consult your local Authority Having Jurisdiction to determine whether the unit will be usable in your application. Pay special attention to the electrical box requirements for this box as it is designed to use a standard indoor metal gang box for power.

Top and bottom are concentric knockouts. 1.4" and 2" approximately. The side knockouts are 1.4" If you need grommets for the 2" knockouts, those are part number AC1034.

The ENP1700NA only includes the plastic enclosure with no additional mounting hardware included in the box. Any of the internal mounting options needed are additional accessories and can be found in the Structured Wiring and Connectivity catalog located on our website at the link below. https://legrand.webdamdb.com/directdownload.php?ti=55669725&tok=JXtWd6CVbiz4GWVpVBwE3ARR
