Appleton 8468F 4-in Square Single-gang Flat Switch Ring

Product Description

The APPLETON 8468F is a 4-inch square single-gang flat switch ring used to adapt a 4-inch square electrical box to accept a standard single-gang device plate. This fitting mounts flush to the face of the box, providing a flat mud ring profile suited for installations where the wall surface is flush with or slightly above the box. Electricians use this ring during rough-in and finish work on residential and light commercial wiring projects. It is a standard component in outlet and switch box assemblies where a 4-inch square box is the base enclosure.

This switch ring is appropriate for use in residential and commercial electrical rough-in applications. It is installed on 4-inch square electrical boxes to convert the opening to a single-gang configuration, allowing a standard decorator or toggle switch plate to seat properly. Typical scenarios include new construction, remodel work, and panel or device relocation projects. Licensed electricians and journeyman wiremen are the primary installers in both residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

• 4-inch square base fits standard 4-inch square electrical boxes
• Single-gang flat profile for flush wall installations
• Flat ring design suits finished surfaces flush with the box face
• Designed for use as a device adapter in switch and outlet rough-in assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard accessory for use with 4-inch square electrical boxes requiring a single-gang device ring adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before working on any box assembly. Secure the ring squarely to the face of the 4-inch square box before pulling and terminating device wiring. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this may distort the ring and prevent the device plate from seating flat.
