ABSTRACT:
A two-piece electrical box assembly for recessing a duplex receptacle or similar electrical device within a wall. An inner box portion is constructed of metal and includes sidewalls and a back wall defining a cavity therein. The cavity is capable of receiving the electrical device therein. An outer box portion includes an outward extending flange and provides a protective enclosure surrounding the inner box portion and the electrical device within the inner box portion. The electrical box assembly is capable of recessing into a hole in a wall until the outward extending flange is flush with the wall. A cover on the outer box portion can be closed to provide a rainproof enclosure therein for the plug ends of electrical cords while they are connected to the electrical device.
