Cooper Crouse-hinds TP480 Steel Mud Ring

Product Description

The COOPER CROUSE-HINDS TP480 is a steel mud ring designed for use with electrical outlet boxes and wiring device installations. Mud rings, also called tile rings or raised device rings, extend the box opening flush with finished wall surfaces such as drywall, tile, or plaster. This ring provides a stable mounting surface for switches, receptacles, and other wiring devices where the box sits recessed behind the finished wall plane. Electricians use mud rings during rough-in and finish stages to ensure proper device setback depth and a secure, code-compliant mounting point.

The TP480 is suited for commercial and residential electrical rough-in applications where a recessed or flush-mounted outlet box requires depth extension to meet finished wall surfaces. It is commonly installed in new construction and renovation projects where wall materials are applied over the box after rough-in wiring is complete. The steel construction provides durability in standard interior wiring environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit at the panel and verify absence of voltage before working in the box. Secure the mud ring to the outlet box before applying wall finish materials to ensure correct device mounting depth. Do not modify or bend the ring, as this may compromise the mounting surface integrity.
