Patent No. US 6,908,003 B2
U
nited States Patent 6,908,003 B2 covers the
topic of electrical boxes for use in walls, floors
and ceilings, and more specifically to a new and
improved electrical outlet box and flush mounted
device box which allows the integrity of a vapor
barrier in building construction to be maintained.
When an electrical box is installed in a wall or ceiling,
the vapor barrier provided by the construction to
prevent cold, winter air from entering into a house is
compromised by the mounting of such a box.
Engineers at Allied Moulded Products, Inc. were
presented with this issue of the vapor barrier when
traditional electrical boxes were installed. Their
solution was to provide an improved electrical box
that maintains the integrity of the vapor barrier of
the wall construction. The innovative box design
provides an integral rigid flange that seals the vapor
barrier and prevents cold, winter air from leaking
into the house. This design is for use in energy
efficient home to aid in sealing up the exterior walls
per construction methods outlined in 402.4 of the
2009 International Energy Conservation Code.
Product Features:
• An electrical box including an integral flange, extending from the box in all directions to maintain the
integrity of the vapor barrier; the flange is self supporting and yet flexible enough to accommodate
the dimensional and alignment irregularities in construction.

Seal product family. These air-sealed electrical boxes are
available in single-gang, two-gang, three-gang, four-gang, five-
