Please log in for more thread options I need to mount faceplates on drywall. "Caddy" makes MP1P2 and similar brackets that, depending on who you ask are [not] "mud rings"... But I'm seeking a non-metallic flavor. The local folks, Branch Electric {they used to have a datacom division, but they now have a buncha voicemail boxes} have counter folks that tell me they have "Mulberry" brand, but I can't find such. Anyone heard of same; or have specific alternatives? I need both single and multiple-gang flavors... -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I use the MPLS mud ring from Caddy, unless firewalling is an issue. It's a metal ring with bendable tabs. Pass and Seymour makes an "old work" box and mud rings, try http://www.passandseymour.com/products/product.html?c=P100WD for the reference. Carl Navarro >

>both single and multiple-gang flavors... Arlington Electronics makes my favorite for remodel jobs (usually easier in an office space to use them anyway). Carlon also makes old-work and new-work non-metalic mud-rings. Home Depot carries the Carlon ones (at least my local ones). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I need > both single and multiple-gang flavors... I went to Home Depot and bought the blue plastic thingys that are functionally the same as the Caddy MPLSes. It's a blue electric box with most of the back cut off. The screws on the front cause the plastic tabs to flip out when they are tightened. Also you could just buy the whole blue electric box and cut the back half off with a hacksaw. An odd thought just struck me when I read the subject: line. This is a description of what the Mars Rover came across on one of its journeys. ;-) > --

I turned the HD upside down and found three SKU's 611-555 aka 78477-11454 2 pack of duplex brackets 611-558 aka 78477-11455 One quad bracket 230-239 aka ?? 10-pack of duplex brackets. They of course mention different #'s on the webpage...ARGH.. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
