Can this be used for new construction? I want a recessed box that I can attach to a stud.

Its an old work box. It has a flange on the front. The ring does not detach. Short answer no.

Yes, the cover outer flange is attached by screws, so remove it and attach to stud. Save it for after the drywall is up.

Hello Linda,You should be able to attach this to wood or siding with no problem. Sometimes you will need a little extra support, because it is a sturdy product. This can be done by just using a few extra bolts into the studs.

yes, my contractor wanted to recess this- it ended up being too big for my space though.

yes it can. Never thought of that but its attractive and with proper power drill mounted to stud it would work fine

It has some recessed areas, but I believe you would be able to use double sided tape by building it up in the recessed areas.

yes. In fact you can't install it where a stud is placed. You must avoid studs and afix behind the tile and hardibacker.

Item has not been used for that purpose but, my daughter who is a plumber says that it will certainly find a stud behind tile!! I hope this is helpful!!!

Yes, I think you should be able to. You need a solid post to fasten to. We use it in our basement. I measured our area to determine what length to get.

It should work just fine. Depending on if the face of the new work box is flush with the Sheetrock. If not, some longer bolts and a couple of nuts to use as spacers for the faceplate should be good to help make it flush.

I think it will be really tight. The width of the unit is 1 2/3 inches without the bit, plus you have to add the length of the screw so I think it might not work that well in that situation. I just put it in a single-gang box and it looks a little to tight for working comfort. Are you working with new or old construction. If you are working with new construction buy boxes for that purpose and nail or screw them in, but if you are working on a wall that already has drywall or paneling use old work boxes and they work just fine. I've done a lot of that and have never had a problem. Good luck! I think it will be really tight.

It can be as long as you don't expect the aluminum to hold it up. You have to go through to the studs or masonry wall. The siding is merely a facade over what lies below. Connect to the structure and you will be more than happy.

What is not noted in the description is that the unit cannot be mounted to a surface mounted round or rectangular box. It can only be mounted to a recessed "new construction" box. The unit also does not come with weather proofing gasket, so I question whether it will hold up in the rain.

I can't answer directly, as mine is already installed and I am at work. Seems like it would be easier to trim out portions of the edges of the panel where the stud fits if necessary. Put mine in with construction adhesive - works very well.

Works with either new construction or cut in. Screws to stud for new construction- has everything you need including "gang box" for receptacle and instructions.

Although I have this medicine cabinet, it is wall mounted. It has mirrors on both sides of the box part. If that would fit between studs in your wall, I guess you could make it recessed but that is a guess. Can't Amazon ask the manufacturer?

I'm not sure if it would have to be mouned on a stud, but that is what I did. It is pretty heavy even before you add the weight of the components to it.

Would work fine for that application. It will need to be secured into a wall stud.
