What is the depth of the part of the switch that goes in the box? Will it fit a 1 1/2' wall? The spec sheet isn't completely clear.

I do not have the measurements handy, but it has to be installed in at least a standard size switch box so to leave room for the connections. If you have only 1.5" depth, add a wire mold extension box to increase depth.

I can't recall the exact depth, but like most timers it was pretty deep. I really don't think you would be able to install it in a shallow switch box and/or wall with a 1.5" depth. My parents had the same problem with their wall, so they used a Wiremold surface-mount box to put the switches in.

I would say no. The switch is the size of a standard dimmer. The switch would probably physically fit into the box, but there would be no room for wires.

It's been awhile since I did the install, but I don't believe it will . The switch is about that size

Since the velvet bracket edges of the screen are slanted inward, I would think the distance is less that 1/2". I have not touched my screen to press it against the wall behind, but the screen is close to the wall for sure. If there is any way relocate the light switch where you will be hanging the screen, I would move the switch before hand.Kelly

3/4 inch hole. And it won't fit into a simple 3/4 inch hole. The switch has a little bump to prevent the switch from spinning around in the hole. So make sure you cut out a little notch too. Do not make it bigger than. 3/4 or it defeats the purpose.

Hmm, not sure, I do not have access to the box, it was installed in another location. But since the box will fit into a studded wall cavity (3.5") it can not be any deeper (take in to account the wall board thickness). That said, everything is recessed into the wall for AC plug clearance. Therefore I would estimate the recess to be about 1.5" I would allow at least 2" on the shallow side to get the cables thru. That said, this kit makes for a very nice installation at both ends.

The cutout should be about 1" x 1.5" and you will need about 2.5" clearance underneath for connectors.

I agree with comment (1) as this is the answer I would have given. i.e.Both pieces are the same size, except the terminal screws extend from the switch side. The moulded parts are 1/2" deep - 2-3/16" long and 1/2" high including the 1/32" thick foam adhesive. mounting centre distance 1-3/4". total depth with screws and wire under the screws is 5/8".

The opening (I just measured) is 2 7/8 wide, 5 1/4 high and 2 1/2 deep at the deepest point, so I guess the answer is definitely no. This is a great box for installing a standard outlet outdoors on a wall, but it looks like you need something bigger.

The 'insides' fit into a standard single outlet box, the outer dimensions are 2 3/4 w x 5 h (inches). It protrudes from the wall about 3/4 inch.

The width is 4 1/8 inches that being said you still have to have room for the wiring. Hope this answers your question, good luck!

Don't have access to it to measure, guessing 3.5 x 2 x .75 inches. Pretty small package. Would likely fit in a single gang switch box.

I have mine in a normal single switch wall box, it's a bit tight installing it, but works and looks fine.

You have to allow for the bend radius of the power cord on the back of the "box" in addition to the depth dimension of the MW "box" itself. Taking a measurement off the back wall in my installation to the front of the "box' is 13 3/4 inches (includes the bend radius). The feet are then 10 3/4 inches from the back wall. My MW "box" extends about 1 inch beyond the face of the cabinet. Under cabinet installation; not in the cabinet.

The light end is about 1 1/4 inches. The switch end is 1 1/16 inches. Length is 4 1/2 inches.

The lower box is 1" deep after installation. I suspect the top box is the same, but it's behind my TV and I can't measure it. I would assume that there both 1" deep.

I installed mine in a standard double switch box without any problem. I had to get a new plate cover simply because I went from 2-toggle to 1-toggle/1-decora. I agree the boxes are not very deep when you factor in all the wires and the depth of the new switch. It felt like I had to jam a lot of stuff into a small space but it worked out fine in the end. I hope that answers your question.

'Yes but... it won't fit very well in a shallow box, or one stuffed with wires. It's not a bad idea to make sure the box has enough room before get too far into the project. This switch will take close to 100% of the space to a depth of about 1.5". A qualified electrician might know a few tricks to free up some space. Just be warned...

The wall thickness of the square part where it meets the receiver is 1/8" on the one I have.
