ABSTRACT:
A receptacle for enclosing low-voltage electronic devices and maintaining the integrity of a vapor barrier. The receptacle includes a base, and four side walls. Each side wall is joined to two adjacent side walls to form a perimeter wall. The perimeter wall is joined to the base and extends from it in a generally perpendicular fashion. The perimeter wall and base delineate a generally rectangular enclosure with five closed sides and one open side. A mounting flange is joined to the four side walls and extends from them in a generally perpendicular fashion. The receptacle is positioned within a wall of a building so as to allow at least one flange direct contact with a structural member. The structural members of the wall and the receptacle are both covered with a barrier film. The barrier film is sealingly attached to the flange. A hole is created through the barrier film within the confines of the receptacle so that a low voltage electronic device can be mounted in the wall without compromising the vapor barrier of the building.
