Installation Instructions

1. Begin by removing the outlet cover plate. After turning the power off, and testing to make sure
there is no power to the outlet, remove the two screws holding the outlet in place to the electrical box.
2. Pull the outlet out of the electrical box and slip the extension box off the outlet.

3. Screw the extension block onto your existing receptacle in the wall using two fine threaded
electrical screws. (NOTE: These often do not come with the extension block you purchase.)
4. Then pre-drill your log siding J-Block and screw two sheetrock screws through the J-Block into
the wall stud behind the sheet rock. Be careful to avoid any electrical wire behind the wall!
By angling these screws through the side of the J-Block, there is a good chance they will be
covered when the log siding is notched around the J-Block.
5. Cut or notch your log siding to fit around your log siding J-Block. For exterior applications a
bead of caulk is recommended around the seam between the J-Block and your log siding.
FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION:
In new construction there are more options for mounting J-Blocks. Please check all local codes as
methods shown here may not meet your local building codes. In some cases you may wish to mount
the electrical box first and then mount the J-Block later. In other cases mounting the J-Block first is
the best option followed by installing the electrical box. In either case, make sure you purchase
electrical boxes without nails already attached to the box, or they will not fit into the pre-cut opening
of your J-Blocks.
