INSTRUCTION/INSTALLATION SHEET
Core Line Enclosure with Cover
IS-0366 REV. C
©Copyright 2009 by On-Q/Legrand All Rights Reserved. Page 1 of 4
1. Introduction
The On-Q/Legrand Core Line Enclosures are available in four sizes, 14”, 20”, 28” and 42”. Each size of enclosure is
available with a hinged cover (includes lock assembly), or with a screw on cover, or as separate products; enclosure
only, hinged cover only or screw on cover only.
2. Enclosure Installation
Locate the enclosure centrally in the house to minimize the length of cable runs and in a climate controlled area.
Temperature must be from 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F). Humidity is to be controlled to not condense in the
enclosures. The enclosure must be located to assure that the electrical outlet, if installed in the enclosure, is installed
in compliance to all NEC wiring requirements. This is particularly important if the enclosure is located in a basement
and may be subject to flooding.
CAUTION: For any limitations on enclosure locations, consult local electrical and building codes before
installing enclosures.
NOTE: The enclosure is not weather proof and should not be located outside or where temperature changes
and humidity may allow condensation in the enclosure.
NOTE: The enclosure is not fire rated and should not be mounted in fire rated walls.
The enclosure may be either surface mounted or recess mounted between studs installed on 16 inch centers.
Surface Mounting-
Typical surface mounting is on a 3/4 inch plywood back board.
A. Securely mount plywood with rear access knockouts accessible, if
needed.
B. If cable access is to be through the back of enclosure, remove wire
access knockouts from rear of enclosure. (See Figure 1).
C. Position enclosure in desired location and mark top of center keyhole
opening located on the top center of enclosure (See Figure 1).
D. Install mounting wood screw at mark. Head must be ½” clearance from
the back.
E. Hang enclosure on screw and mark four (4) mounting holes and wire
access holes on plywood. (See Figure 1). Also mark top and bottom of
enclosure.
F. If cable access is from the rear, remove enclosure and cut access holes in plywood for cables.
Note - Access hole may be a large slot, provided it does not extend beyond the enclosure. Remove all rough
edges to prevent cable damage.
G. Attach enclosure to wall using wood screws. Remove the top centering
screw to avoid interference with modules.
Note - It may be easier to rough-in cable and feed cables through plywood
prior to attaching the enclosure
.
.
Recessed mounting-
There are two methods for recess mounting the enclosure. In half inch drywall
installations the enclosure may be mounted to the front of the studs. Bend out
the side tabs on each side to 90 degrees (see Figure 2). Position the enclosure
to the desired height and fasten using standard screws into the slots in the tabs.
