Wiremold AL2000 Deep Device Box

The Wiremold AL2000 Deep Device Box is a purpose-built, single-gang deep enclosure engineered for layouts where standard boxes simply won’t accommodate larger receptacles or specialized devices. Designed for reliability in both retrofit and new-construction projects, this box provides generous internal space to minimize crowding of wires, reduce strain on terminations, and simplify complex installations such as signal and alarm systems. Its thoughtful features—including an open base plate for precise mounting to an existing wall box, and a solid plate insert with selectable knockouts—make it a flexible solution for professionals who demand clean, accessible wiring with a professional finish. Whether you’re integrating a high-capacity outlet, a dense communications module, or a monitoring device, the AL2000 gives you the depth and mounting versatility you need while preserving the clean aesthetic of standard wall boxes. The design anticipates practical field requirements: easy alignment with the wall box, secure mounting, and the ability to close unused openings with KO plugs, all while remaining compatible with industry-standard faceplates. Ideal for security and automation installations, the AL2000 helps keep cables organized, devices stable, and work performed to code without sacrificing accessibility or performance.

How to install Wiremold AL2000 Deep Device Box

Installing the AL2000 combines careful planning with sound electrical practices. Follow these steps to achieve a clean, reliable installation that supports deep devices and larger receptacles. Always observe local electrical codes and, when in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.

• Safety first: Power down the circuit at the main service panel and verify there is no voltage present with a tester before starting work. Use appropriate personal protective equipment as required by local regulations.
• Positioning and alignment: Identify the wall box location and bring the AL2000 into position. Use the open base plate to align with the existing wall box, ensuring the KO openings and screw holes will align with the box and the wall surface.
• Mounting the base: Secure the AL2000 base to the existing wall box using the appropriate screws or fasteners specified for the box and wall type. Confirm that the base sits plumb and flush against the wall to ensure a straight faceplate fit.
• Configure knockouts: Decide which knockouts to use. Install the 1/2" or 3/4" knockouts for your conductors, and place KO plugs in any unused openings to maintain enclosure integrity and to help meet fire-blocking considerations where required.
• Run conductors and devices: Route cables through the selected knockouts, keeping cables neatly organized to avoid tight bends and interference with device mounting. Connect receptacles, alarm modules, or other deep devices per applicable wiring diagrams and device manufacturer instructions.
• Close openings and mount faceplate: Insert the solid plate to close unused openings as needed, attach the deep device or module, and mounted faceplate. Verify that the faceplate sits flush and aligns with surrounding devices.
• Final checks and power restore: Once everything is secured, restore power and test the device for proper operation. Confirm that the device is securely mounted, cables are properly terminated, and there are no signs of heat or strain on conductors.
