Appleton 8461A 4 Inch Square Plastic Extension Ring

Product Description

The APPLETON 8461A is a 4-inch square plastic extension ring designed to increase the usable depth of a standard 4-inch square electrical outlet box. This type of mud ring or extension ring is commonly used in electrical rough-in and finish work to bring the box face flush with finished wall or ceiling surfaces such as drywall or tile. It is a standard component in residential and light commercial electrical installations, typically installed by licensed electricians during box setup or device finishing work.

The 8461A fits standard 4-inch square electrical outlet boxes and is used when additional box depth is required to meet code requirements for conductor fill or device clearance. Typical applications include new construction, remodel work, and installations where finished surface thickness requires the box opening to be extended outward.

Key Features

• 4-inch square footprint matches standard square outlet box dimensions
• Plastic construction resists corrosion in typical interior installations
• Extends box depth to accommodate conductor fill requirements
• Designed for flush-mount finishing with drywall and similar wall surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment extension ring for 4-inch square electrical outlet boxes used in residential and light commercial wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize the circuit at the panel and verify the absence of voltage before working on or near any electrical box. Secure the ring firmly to the existing outlet box before pulling or terminating conductors. Installation should comply with applicable NEC requirements for box fill and device mounting depth.
