Please log in for more thread options renovation, after an upstairs waterline blew and ran for 4 days.... With no ceilings and few walls, it's easy.... The 2S+Basement condo has 25pair telco everywhere [bet no one here recalls a WECO 51A..] and we're adding coax, CAT5e and misc. But one problem is the drywall-block distance is quite shallow - way less than an inch. Is there some kind of mudring+spacer that will let me use standard wallplates, or a backless box that will protrude out?? -- 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 There are surface mount "extenders" ranging from 1/4" to 3" that you mount
a standard faceplate too. Panduit, Hubbell & Leviton are a few of the manufactures that have them, others might. But I think I might agree with the previous post and go with a regular surface mount outlet. Since it's residential, I'm going to guess it's going to be Leviton or Hubbell and both have decent low profile surface boxes. One point, I think you may be completely out of luck for a shallow back box. I am not aware of any, but doesn't mean they don't exist.

I am not aware of any, but doesn't mean they don't exist. Surface mount is way too ugly. I'd love to find these extenders, if some has PN's or urls... -- 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thus far: Panduit makes an extension, but it's part of its surface-power line, not data. Leviton has a dual gang ring, but not a duplex one. -- 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
