How to Install the 68-P Floor Box

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 68-P floor box, including mounting, wiring, and sealing procedures.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, PVC cement, Caulk or sealant

  1. Prepare the installation site

    Cut the top surface of the floor box or extension to be 1/8 inch below the finished floor height to ensure a flush installation.

  2. Mount the floor box

    Level and fasten the box to the form or set it on a level surface. If using an extension, snap both halves together and cement to the top of the 68-P box.

  3. Make conduit connections

    Connect the conduit to the box outlets, ensuring to seal any unused box hubs with blank conduit plugs using a 1/4 turn method.

  4. Insert the plastic cap

    Place the plastic cap into the top of the box or extension prior to pouring concrete to prevent ingress.

  5. Apply PVC cement

    Apply PVC cement to the outside edge of the adjusting ring and the top inside edge of the floor box. Press the adjusting ring into the floor box, rotating it back and forth until it is securely in place.

  6. Seal the installation

    Caulk or seal all gaps around the trim ring and floor surface to block water entry, especially on wood or tile floors.
