Are we ok surface mount a 4 square steel box through sheet rock into a wall stud, then bring a wire into the box from a knock out in the back of box ?
not sure if there are firewall considerations but as long as you are using correct fittings etc...yep.Are we ok surface mount a 4 square steel box through sheet rock into a wall stud, then bring a wire into the box from a knock out in the back of box ?
If box is secured to the framing members this can be done. But why a 4sq? If this space is finished (suggested by presence of sheet rock) I would be using a "Wiremold" box. Designed for rear entry and a finished look.Are we ok surface mount a 4 square steel box through sheet rock into a wall stud, then bring a wire into the box from a knock out in the back of box ?
