How to Install Wiremold Flange

Installing the Wiremold Flange is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime while delivering a professional, high-quality result. Follow these steps to ensure a secure, flush fit that complements your flooring choice and maintains safe, ADA-compliant pathways where applicable:

• Prepare the site: Verify that your floor box model (880S1, 880M1, 880CS1-1, or 880M1-1) is compatible with the aluminum tile flange. Ensure the flooring material is installed to the manufacturer’s specifications and that the subfloor is stable and clean.
• Turn off power: For any electrical work, ensure the circuit is de-energized and follow all applicable safety protocols before handling the floor box and flange components.
• Position the flange: Align the 4.5" x 3.5" flange precisely over the floor opening and ensure the mounting holes on the flange align with the floor box or mounting surface. The flange should sit flat against the subfloor or tile backing to prevent any gaps.
• Secure the flange: Use appropriate fasteners recommended by the floor box manufacturer to secure the flange to the mounting surface. Tighten screws until flush with the flange surface, taking care not to over-tighten and distort the finish.
• Finish surface around the flange: If tile or terrazzo is being installed, route or trim the surrounding material to create a seamless transition with the flange edge. For carpet installations, ensure the carpet edge is flush and does not overlap the flange to maintain a clean line.
• Inspect and test: Reconnect power and test the floor box operation, ensuring the flange remains firmly in place and that there is no movement or damage to the surrounding flooring. Confirm that the installed flange provides a flush, professional appearance and meets any local code requirements.
