  • 8.5 Cubic Inch Capacity - Generous wire capacity meets NEC fill requirements for multiple conductor connections
  • Precision Steel Construction - Maintains dimensional stability and provides secure device mounting threads
  • Standard 4" Square Compatibility - Universal fit with all standard 4" square electrical boxes

Durability & Code Compliance

  • Zinc-Plated Steel Material - Superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability in various environments
  • NEC/CEC Compliant Design - Meets all electrical code requirements for box extensions and device mounting
  • Secure Device Attachment - Threaded mounting holes ensure reliable connection of electrical devices
  • Professional Finish - Clean appearance suitable for visible installations

Technical Specifications

This 4" square mud ring features 1-1/4" raised depth construction in zinc-plated steel material, providing 8.5 cubic inches of wire capacity. The ring measures 4" x 4" to match standard square box dimensions, with a product weight of 0.39 pounds for easy handling during installation. NEC/CEC compliant design ensures code compliance in ordinary/non-hazardous locations across commercial and residential applications.

Installation Process

  1. Verify 4" square electrical box is properly secured and level in wall opening
  2. Position mud ring over box opening, ensuring proper alignment with box edges
  3. Secure mud ring to box using appropriate machine screws through mounting holes
  4. Verify ring sits flush against wall surface and provides proper device mounting depth
  5. Install electrical device using ring's threaded mounting holes for secure attachment
  6. Complete wiring connections within the 8.5 cubic inch capacity following NEC fill requirements

Applications

Perfect for:

  • Commercial Buildings - Office spaces, retail stores, and professional facilities requiring precise device mounting
  • Residential Construction - New homes and renovations where standard box depth is insufficient
  • Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing and processing areas needing reliable electrical connections
  • Institutional Projects - Schools, hospitals, and government buildings with strict code requirements
  • Renovation Work - Existing buildings where wall thickness variations require depth adjustment
  • GFCI Installations - Providing additional depth for bulky GFCI receptacles and their wire connections
  • Switch Mounting - Ensuring proper switch positioning over uneven drywall or plaster surfaces
  • Multi-Gang Applications - Creating uniform mounting depth across multiple device locations

Square Box Extension System Benefits

Mud rings provide essential flexibility in electrical installations by extending box depth and creating proper device mounting surfaces. Unlike attempting to shim devices or use oversized boxes, mud rings offer precise depth control while maintaining code-compliant wire capacity. The 4" square format maximizes wire space while accommodating standard device configurations, making them indispensable for professional electrical work.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel mud rings offer superior strength and dimensional stability compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring devices remain securely mounted over decades of service. The zinc-plated finish provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining the structural integrity needed for heavy devices like GFCI receptacles. Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel construction delivers the professional-grade reliability electrical contractors trust for long-term installations.
