Crouse-Hinds TP488 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is a mud ring for a 4 inch square box and why do I need one?
A mud ring, also called a plaster ring or device cover, closes off a 4 inch square outlet box and reduces the opening down to a single device opening for a switch or receptacle. Without one you have no way to mount the device or fit a standard device plate to a 4 inch square box. The Crouse-Hinds ring is steel, sized for 4 inch square boxes, and is a one-device configuration.
2) How do I pick the right raise height on a Crouse-Hinds mud ring?
Match the raise to your finished wall thickness. The steel ring comes flat (TP480) plus 1/4 inch (TP482), 1/2 inch (TP484), 5/8 inch (TP489), 3/4 inch (TP486), 1 inch (TP488), and 1-1/4 inch (TP490) raised. The raise carries the device opening out from the box face to the finished surface, so a box set behind 5/8 inch drywall takes the 5/8 inch raise, 1/2 inch board takes the 1/2 inch, and a flat ring is for a box already flush with the finish. Getting this wrong is what leaves a device recessed behind the wall or standing proud of the plate.
3) Will a Crouse-Hinds TP480 mud ring fit a 4-11/16 inch box?
No. These rings are sized for 4 inch square boxes, 4 in by 4 in. A 4-11/16 box (the one trade calls a 4 square oversize or 119 box) is a larger footprint and takes its own ring; the mounting ears will not line up. Check the box stamp before ordering.
4) Do these mud rings meet code for commercial electrical work?
The rings are UL-Listed and built to NEC/CEC standards, which is what an inspector looks for on a commercial or institutional job in the US or Canada. Steel construction, ordinary-location rated.
5) Should I use a steel mud ring or a plastic one on a 4 square box?
Steel is the choice for metal box systems and commercial raceway work: it grounds through to the box, it takes the mechanical abuse of a wall that is going to get bumped, and it is what specs on commercial drawings normally call for. Plastic rings pair with nonmetallic boxes on residential work. These Crouse-Hinds rings are steel and made for 4 inch steel square outlet boxes.
6) My box is set too deep behind the finished wall. Does a raised mud ring fix it or do I need an extension ring?
A raised mud ring corrects up to 1-1/4 inches of setback, which is what TP490 gives you; below that, TP488 at 1 inch and TP486 at 3/4 inch handle most furring and double-layer board. If the box is buried deeper than 1-1/4 inches, the ring will not reach and you need a box extension instead. A mud ring is a device cover with a raise, not a way to gain box volume.
7) Does a flat mud ring work if my 4 square box is already flush with the drywall?
Yes, that is exactly what the flat ring TP480 is for. Surface-mounted boxes and boxes set flush to the finish take the flat version, since there is no wall thickness to make up. Steel, single device, for 4 inch square boxes.
