    In this video I will be showing you how to install f clips or steamboats or madison clips all made by the caddy brand and easy to use. I have been using these for along time and they are fantastic for cutting in an electrical box into a drywall or plaster wall, they will even work on a block wall as well.

    I've been using the reno boxes with wings/clips which require a larger hole and use up space inside the box for the clips. Discovered these recently and will be using them from now on to add boxes when needed. Great demo!

    Good information. So they are supposed to keep the box from coming out of the drywall but not the other way around? Meaning they don't work if the box is sinking in from a given side(lacking back support)

  • @billyoung8118
    @billyoung8118 Рік тому +1

    Can these be used to push down the side of a plastic new work box that is sticking out of the drywall a little because the 2x4 the other side is nailed into is a bit warped? This is for a 2-gang box holding only light switches, not an outlet. If I manually press that edge, it does recess to the drywall so it isn't like a killer amount of force is needed to do that. Unfortunately we are at the point that fixing this other ways would not be easy because there are a lot of wires coming in the box.

    • @MountaineerOutdoors
      @MountaineerOutdoors  Рік тому +1

      Great question. I would not because it has the potential to become energized potentially. In my opinion it may be a better idea to replace the box all together maybe with a box like this amzn.to/3YGb6vA

      This is my opinion, but in boxes that are tight. Use your own judgment though nothing wrong with every device.

    I call them F clips because i'm still wondering what the F they are for. Lol. Just kidding. But seriously, do they hold the box into the hole? And where do they hold exactly? I couldn't see what they clipped into.

    • @patrickduguay8
      @patrickduguay8 Рік тому +2

      These are 'renovation' boxes used when you need to add an electrical box without cutting a larger access hole to screw a box to studs. This allows for a much smaller hole as you don't have clips or wings to push into the opening to hold the other style or reno boxes.
