How to Install Wiremold 880CM2-1 Omnibox Series Shallow Cast-Iron Floor Box

• Plan the location carefully in open-space areas where a single service is required; verify clearances, routing paths for power and data lines, and ensure compliance with local electrical codes before cutting into the floor.
• Prepare the concrete opening by using the factory-provided cutout template to guide your drilling or chiseling. Remove all debris, verify the opening is square and level, and ensure the surrounding floor surface remains structurally sound.
• Position the Omnibox box into the hole and align with the floor finish; secure the box to the substrate according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and any applicable codes. Take care to maintain a flush surface with the surrounding floor material.
• Run conductors from the service point through appropriate in-floor raceways or conduits as required; connect to the activation module or receptacle per local electrical codes and the Wiremold installation instructions. Use proper strain relief and ensure secure terminations to prevent service interruptions.
• Install the activation module and flush cover plate; verify that the surface is level and flush with the floor. Test the single service activation to confirm proper operation, and confirm that the cover plate sits securely and remains flush during normal use and foot traffic.
