Adjustable Mud Ring System Benefits
Adjustable mud rings provide superior installation flexibility compared to fixed-depth extension rings. The ability to fine-tune extension depth during installation ensures perfect device alignment regardless of wall finish variations. This eliminates the need to stock multiple fixed-depth rings and reduces installation callbacks due to improper device positioning.
Why Choose Steel Construction?
Steel construction provides superior strength and dimensional stability compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring the mud ring maintains proper alignment under device installation stress. The robust steel material resists warping and cracking during installation, while providing secure mounting points for electrical devices. Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel mud rings deliver the professional-grade reliability electrical contractors demand for long-term installations.
