The FSR PWB-CMU8-B is the first dedicated masonry wall box engineered for audio/visual installations in 8” block walls. The all-metal CMU8 is designed to replace the front portion of one block and, with the optional paintable cover, provides an attractive surface with no visible jagged block edges. The box has two opposing 2-gang device boxes inside, providing space for power and low voltage devices, including most receivers.
The PWB-CMU8-B has 1”, 1.25”, and 1.5” knockouts centered on the opening of the most common two-hole CMU blocks. This wall box ships with a construction cover for the rough out construction phase. Inside the box, its two 2-gang compartments face the middle. These compartments are convertible to a single gang with the provided block-off plates; they are also removable for installing active brick receivers and accommodate standard electrical plates. The gang compartments are oversized to allow for extra service loops and cable storage and with a depth of 3.25” to allow for the largest of the active electronic wall-plates.
The optional split metal finish cover is painted white and is suitable for over painting as the rest of the room is sprayed. The cover features a beveled edge and cable lash bar to support the exiting cables so the connectors do not dislodge from the wall plates or ware due to movement.
