Question:
Good job! I read this every morning and now the simple question. Can I install a remodel box in a fire rated wall?
Dave Miller
A
Answer:
Hey Dave thanks for your question and the kind words. The NEC does not provide much detail in 300.21 but according the UL Product Spec outlet boxes for use in fire rated assemblies are intended to be fastened to the studs. One that was held in place by the wall material would not comply.
