Mud Ring System Benefits

Mud rings provide essential depth adjustment for electrical devices when outlet boxes are recessed or when wall thickness varies. Unlike box extensions that add significant depth, mud rings offer minimal profile extension while ensuring devices mount flush with wall surfaces. This creates professional installations with proper device operation and appearance while maintaining electrical code compliance.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel mud rings offer superior strength and dimensional stability compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding applications. The steel construction resists warping, cracking, and impact damage while providing secure mounting for heavy devices like GFCI receptacles. Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel mud rings deliver the professional-grade quality electrical contractors trust for critical installations where reliability and code compliance are essential.
