ABSTRACT:
A recessed electric outlet assembly with cover plate is provided for a wall having a sheet rock panel and wall studs, and consists of an outlet box placed through an aperture in the sheet rock panel, which is secured to one side of one of the wall studs. An electric outlet is electrically connected to wiring from within the wall and is mounted to the outlet box, so that the electric outlet is recessed with respect to the sheet rock panel. A recessed cover plate is also provided with a back portion connected to the electric outlet. A front portion of the recessed cover plate is generally flush with the sheet rock panel, so that plugs on electric cords can be inserted into the electric outlet and not protrude from the wall to be accidentally dislodged therefrom.
