Do I have to drill a hole if I want to run conduit into the box? And what about mounting it to a pole? Do I just have to find my own way?

There are no holes in the box. You will have to make your own. It comes will hardware to mount to a wall. To mount to a pole. You will need to find a way.

Yes, you do. I used 1/2 NPT Black Liquid Tight Fitting NO Nuts to act as a grommet and ran the wire through the whole I drilled instead of conduit.Good luck

The box does not provide any holes. You will need to drill according to your needs. Regarding the mount on a pole you will have to provide your improvise your own adapter. I'm using the box to connect different cables coming from my solar installation. It has worked very well for me. Regards, Américo

The answer to both the questions is yes . Use a hole saw for the conduit connector and the mounting to the pole can be done us an back plate or drill a hole through the box .

Yes you will need to drill hole in box for conduit and make sure you make watertight seal if you want it weather proof.The enclosure is supplied with 4 metal mounting angles which are screwed in from the underside (outside) of enclosure. These can be used to mount to plate which can be clamped to a pole,

I wud not cut a hole in the top & run a cable or wires thru the top because you don't want rain / water to enter the box. If you punch out a hole in the bottom, rain will not flow up into the box.

I used a 5/16 drill bit and a 1/8th inch pipe thread tap to get the threads started, do not thread the tap in to deep just about 3 threads that way the hole won't be to big. I am sure their are other ways to do it, this is what works for me.

Either should work but you don't need it. The description says it's direct wire. I just drilled a hole for the wire right beside a stud and screwed the plate directly to the stud. Quicker and less mess than a box in my opinion But clearly not up to code if you care.

you have to remove the piece that's screwed on the top of the pole before you can place the box piece on it. You can basically discard it... Then just open the screw as much as possible until the top piece clicks into place and then tighten the screw to secure.

Hello Jeffrey,I would recommend that you bury the cable. It does not have to be in conduit. Cat5 and Cat6 would be the same in this regard.Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

You disconnect both worm-drive clamps so they are open and wrap around the pole. May take two people to mount. I did it alone bit not without losing some religion!

I mounted mine on a standard 3 inch octagonal box with an adapter. If you unscrew the plate on the end, your local ace hardware guy can show you the box to use!

No, it does not, it is designed to be mounted on an electrical box and the wiring comes out the back, not allowing for a flush mount without a box for the wiring. However, you could probably pull the wires back through the back plate and wire your own cord to it, but I am sure that would not be up to code and you would not have a properly grounded fixture.

I believe that all are hollow except for the very top one. It sounds like you are planning to run a wire up the inside of the pole. I went up the outside so it was not an issue for me. Perhaps you could get a longer pole and discard the thinnest element?

Is it possible to drill a hole to allow for wire to fit through? Also is it absolutely sealed shut where wire wont go through?

The wall plate itself connects to a standard outlet box like any other wall plate (AC outlet, cable outlet, etc..). I found a handy one at ACE hardware that you can install from the front (outside) of the wall by just cutting the hole, inserting the box, and tighten down the "molly" like tabs. Run the wires inside the wall and into the box before inserting the outlet box into the wall. I hope that helps.Take a look at "Thomas & Betts #b120r Sg Old Work Box" on Amazon for an example of the outlet box.

Pushing this through a hole rather defeats the purpose. Install a standard light socket, then screw this in to it like a lightbulb. Much easier and more flexible for additional options. I know this post is old, but since people still read the Q&A; I thought I'd post another answer.

I made my own flag pole by buying a 2" round conduit that you can get from your local home improvement store. It fits nice and snug in the hitch mount. Just cut the conduit to the height you want it, mine is 6 feet, and then add eyebolts by drilling holes into the conduit where you want to attach your flag. I put a cap on top of the conduit and spray painted it black. Very simple to do. Hope this helps.

You should look at the owners and installation manual. The electrical knockouts are on the bottom. I would run the flex or conduit just under the knockout. You could do so with the conduit being barely visible once the Bosch is mounted to the wall. There is a bit of a cavity at the bottom of the unit. I am happy with my purchase.

I just installed mine. The hole should be dug to 32" deep and a cinder block is to be placed in the middle of the hole. The pole sits on top of the cinder block that is placed in the hole. I'm not sure of the exact length of the pole itself, however.

I used conduit pipe to attach it to my deck. you could use 4x4 posts in the ground then attach the fly to the poles
