I managed to find a box that steel box that measures 3 3/4" X 2" deep.
This looks the same as regular 1900 box but deeper. *Would this work
with a dryer outlet?
For a dryer outlet you should use a two gang box. *2" deep is barely enough
room for the receptacle, but you also need a certain amount of cubic inches
for your conductors. *Use 2-3.5" deep gem boxes ganged together if you want
to go flush mount. *Cut the hole next to a stud. *Drill two holes in the
side of the box. *Use Madison bars to secure the box then shoot two screws
through your drilled holes into the stud.
Are you using 10/3 copper romex or #8 aluminum?
Yes, 10/3 w/ ground romex
