ABSTRACT:
An electrical box assembly including a frame member and an outlet box assembly with an outlet box and a hinged cover. The frame member includes a peripheral flange and inward sloping sidewalls that extend to a rear panel having a central opening therein. The outlet box includes a flange and a rearward extending sidewall portion. The frame member can be secured to a wall and the rearward extending sidewall of the outlet box inserted into the central opening of the frame member until the flange of the outlet box seats against the rear panel of the frame member. The rear panel of the frame member is recessed a substantial distance from the front edge of the frame member, thereby ensuring that the outlet box assembly and hinged cover in a closed configuration will be recessed within the outer surface of the wall.
