New multi-depth in-wall boxes are now shipping from Chief.

 

In order to improve on in-wall box solutions, engineers from Chief talked to customers about in-wall boxes to find out what was working well and what more could be done to solve installation problems.

 

“We found out they wanted good trim kits and covers that could be ordered separately to match real world installation conditions. Many times, the boxes are installed by electricians long before the AV installation takes place, and attaching flanges and covers at that stage works against the construction,” said Luke Westin, product manager.

 

In some regions, it’s becoming more common for commercial construction to use thinner stud bays, Westin said. Installers needed boxes that allowed for shallower depths.

Chief engineers took this feedback to create an in-wall box with the features to meet various requirements.

 

Features include:

The in-wall boxes come in two sizes. The PAC525 is 9 x 14.25 x 3.9″ (229 x 362 x 99 mm), and the PAC526 is 14.25 x 14.25 x 3.9″ (362 x 362 x 99 mm). Both in-wall boxes come in black, but the flanges and covers can be ordered in black or white and are paintable to blend with any environment. They work with any dual stud wall mount.
