Description
Place devices in a tight spot with a recessed electrical in-box designed for inset outlet, switch or cable. This indoor inbox pushed switches, cables and outlets back into the wall to allow close-to-the-wall placement of coffeemakers, toasters, and other small appliances. They can be used next to refrigerators where you need access to power and cables but there isn't much space. These single-gang inset wall boxes allow furniture and small appliances to be placed closer to the wall because the electrical cord plugs don't protrude past the face of the box.

Q & A
Can I use MC Cable with this plastic box?
If wanting to use metal-clad cabling such as BX Cables or MC Cables (instead of Romex) with this plastic box, you would have to add a grounding bushing at the connection with the box and run a grounding wire all the way back to the main panel. Check with your local code or inspector to confirm your particular situation.
