Nvent rlc Device Leveler and Retainer

Product Description

The NVENT rlc is a device leveler and retainer designed to stabilize electrical devices installed in oversized or improperly cut drywall openings. It prevents the device from being pushed back into the wall cavity and makes a floating device rigid and secure. This part is typically installed by electricians during rough-in corrections or finish work when wall openings are too large to provide adequate support for a standard outlet, switch, or similar device.

The rlc is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where drywall openings have been cut too wide or are otherwise out of spec. It provides a mechanical solution that keeps the device flush and level, reducing the risk of broken cover plates caused by an unsupported or misaligned device. It is a common callback-prevention item carried by electricians doing finish electrical or punch-out work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC guidelines. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before working in the device box. The leveler and retainer is installed alongside the device in the wall box to correct fit and alignment in the drywall opening. Do not use this accessory as a substitute for proper box installation or as a structural repair for severely damaged wall surfaces.
