An adjustable outlet box assembly is provided having a stud anchor plate assembly connectable to a support member and having a variable depth ring assembly connected thereto. A further embodiment utilizes the variable ring member having a groove portion about an outer periphery to receive a fire resistant caulking material therein. The method invention includes connecting an electrical receptacle member to a power supply cable and checking the system prior to installation of the sheetrock or paneling material. The method further provides for covering the electrical receptacle assemblies to prevent contamination and provides for the removal of the subject protective cover members and the adjustment of the variable ring members to place an outer surface thereof in a proper relationship to the installed sheetrock or paneling material.
