Ready to step up your commercial game? 🧰 Whether you’re an apprentice, a seasoned pro, or a DIYer looking to move from residential into commercial electrical work, this deep dive into boxes, fittings, and especially adjustable mud rings is for you. We’re walking through every type of mounting solution, MC cable setup, and commercial box option to help you work smarter, not harder.
In this episode, we break down how to secure 4-square boxes, gang up switch boxes, avoid box fill code violations, and how to make sure your installs are clean, efficient, and to spec. You'll learn why gloves are a must, how to properly bond your boxes, and how adjustable mud rings can save the day when drywall depths vary.
🛠️ Big thanks to ABB for sponsoring this episode!
Their Steel City® Adjustable Mud Rings are a total game changer. No more guessing drywall thickness, and no more last-minute callbacks. These rings can adapt to different wall depths quickly and cleanly. They're perfect for everything from commercial walls with double 5/8” drywall to custom wood trim jobs. Learn more and get your hands on them here 👉 electrification.us.abb.com/products/boxes-commercial-fittings/steel-city-adjustable-mud-rings
Whether you're installing receptacles in stairway trim or junction boxes 20 feet overhead, this episode covers it all.
👀 Don't miss the tips at the end on volume calculations, best box practices, and why you should always question your process to become a top-tier spark.
