ABSTRACT:
A position adjustable outlet box system. The system has an outlet box cage, a mounting plate to which the outlet box cage is attached (having a outlet box aperture formed therein), an outlet box that is slideably retained in the outlet box cage, and a drywall ring having a projecting neck portion, which drywall ring is attachable to the outlet box. An adjustment mechanism is provided to permit adjustment of the depth position of the outlet box in the outlet box guide cage. The adjustment mechanism can includes a bolt that freely rotates along its axial axis (but does not move axially relative to the outlet box cage), a threaded shaft that screws into a threaded hole in a back wall of the outlet box and turning means that is accessible from within the outlet box to permit the outlet box's depth position within the cage to be adjusted as needed.
