ABSTRACT:
An acoustically insulating electrical box made of plastic material comprises a box-like wall structure with an open face. A planar, outward flange is integral with the box-like structure around all of the open face. A building, wall or ceiling board is provided with an opening therein to receive the box-like structure with the back of the flange facing the front of the board. Fasteners attach the flange directly on the board with a silicone sealant pressed between the back of the flange and the front of the board. The box-like structure includes apertures through which electrically conducting wires enter the electrical box and which are also sealed with silicone, the box-like structure being otherwise non perforated.
