Arlington Industries Floor & Mounting Boxes

Mounting boxes are a versatile product used to protect a variety of electrical devices, mainly outlets, switches, and circuits. They are typically installed outdoors and are constructed with durable materials to withstand harsh elements.

Arlington offers many types of mounting boxes, some specifically designed for power outlets, while others are versatile. They offer mounting boxes for both wall and floor installations. Supported devices include security cameras, keypads, electrical accessories, and more.

Installing a floor mount electrical box is best done by a certified electrician. But if you have electrical experience, you can complete the installation with a few steps:

1. Choose a Location: Ensure you choose a location with accessibility, no obstructions, and proximity to electrical wiring or cables.
2. Gather Tools: Tools and materials you may need include but are not limited to measuring tape, a screwdriver, wire connectors, and a floor box kit.
3. Prepare the Floor: Cut a properly sized hole in the floor with the use of measuring tape and either a hole saw or reciprocating saw.
4. Run the Wiring: Most floor boxes require you to run wiring for a new circuit or circuit extension. For the wire stripping and connecting process, make sure you have the assistance of a professional electrician or expert.
5. Place the Floor Box: Slide the floor box into the prepared hole and make sure the top is level with the floor and not exposed.
6. Secure the Cover: Install the hardware cover with screws or clips. You’ll know it’s done properly if the cover is flush with the floor surface.

Arlington offers floor mount box kits to provide all the parts necessary for installation and simplify the process.
