ABSTRACT:
An electrical outlet box assembly system that allows contractors to more efficiently mark the location of an electrical box when installing drywall over the electrical box so that the proper area of drywall can be later cut out over the location of the electrical box. The system includes a first panel that is placed over an electrical box after the electrical box has been attached to a stud but before the drywall has been set in place. The first panel includes a hole in which a guide bar can be installed. After the drywall has been put in place, the guide bar will pass through the drywall, allowing an individual to mount a second plate over the guide bar. The second plate has a small centrally-located hole through which the guide bar can pass through. A wing nut can be attached to the guide bar to fasten the second panel in place. When an individual is ready to remove the panels so he or she can cut out the portion of the drywall over the electrical box, the outline of the electrical box can be traced by tracing around the second panel prior to its removal. Then, the drywall can be cut out, at which time, the first panel can then be removed as well, allowing access to the interior of the electrical box.
