how to install Wiremold Ratchet-Pro Steel Concrete Floor Box
- Plan the installation location in alignment with the floor layout, ensuring access to the box from desired workstations or meeting areas and confirming there is enough clearance for conduit connections and cover removal.
- Prepare the concrete opening according to the planned pour depth (4"–6"). The opening should accommodate the box body with a stable base while leaving the nonmetallic top flush with the finished floor surface.
- Position the Ratchet-Pro box in the opening, align with your layout lines, and verify that the interior volume markings align with the intended service configuration. Secure the box to the surrounding formwork or substrate as required by project specifications.
- Route 2" conduit through the 2Hub-compatible opening(s) as needed. Connect conductors to the internal provisions while maintaining separation between different circuit services to meet code requirements and preserve protection.
- Pour concrete up to and around the nonmetallic top, using the graduated depth indicators to ensure the pour depth remains within 4"–6" as specified. Allow the concrete to cure per manufacturer's recommendations and project standards before removing formwork.
- After curing, remove any temporary formwork and verify the box is flush with the floor surface. Install covers or accessories supplied with the box, and perform a thorough inspection to confirm all connections are secure and properly seated.
- Test the configuration by restoring power and validating device access, ensuring that the box remains accessible for future maintenance while maintaining a clean, professional floor appearance.
