8.3.2 Mounting your SMC

There are two ways to install a SMC:

1. Flush-mounting between wall studs

2. Surface-mounting

What You’ll Need to Mount Your SMC:

• Tape Measure

• Drill and bits

• Mounting screws

• Hammer

• Pencil or marker

• Shims

• Plywood or 2X4s (for surface mounting)

To flush-mount a SMC:

• Remove required knockouts from the unit prior to

installation

• Allow twelve inches of access above and below the

unit for conduit fittings, cable routings, and, if called

for, the installation of power module

• Position the SMC unit so that its top is about 5 feet

above the floor.

• Hold the unit between the wall studs with tabs, mov-

ing it out against the studs to accommodate any dry-

wall installation

• Mark the knockout locations on the wall studs if using

side-wall knockouts.

• Remove the SMC and drill out the studs at the knock-

out locations

• Insert the SMC between the studs

• Install the wood screws that come with the SMC

through the mounting holes. Shimming may be

required if studs are warped or twisted.

Installer’s Tip: Use the cardboard mud guard to cover

and protect the interior of the box and unterminated

cables during dry wall finishing. The mud guard will

defray damage from other contractors and workers on

the job. Store the SMC metal cover, in its original

plastic protective covering, in a safe place until ready

for trim-out.

If you surface-mount the SMC:

• Provide some structural support in the form of brac-

ing (such as 2X4s between the studs or a piece of

3/4" plywood)

• Remove any required knockouts from the back of the

box

• Position the SMC unit so that its top is about 5 feet

above the floor.

• Install the wood screws through the mounting holes

on the back of the unit, tightening them securely to

the plywood or framing

Be sure that a light fixture is installed near the SMC.
