How can standard sectional switch boxes be mounted?

Standard sectional switch boxes are designed to be securely mounted to provide stability and safety for electrical connections. The correct method for mounting these boxes is by nailing or screwing them to wood backing. This method offers strong support, ensuring that the box remains in place over time despite the installation of switches or outlets and the stress of connecting electrical wiring.

Using wood backing allows for reliable fastening, which is essential for maintaining properly functioning electrical systems and reducing the risk of damage or hazards. Other mounting methods, such as solely relying on metal strips, adhesives, or placing boxes on the floor, do not provide the same level of reliability and structural soundness required for safe and effective electrical installations.
