I like to mount an outdoor outlet box to a cement stucco wall. I tried
to punch through the breakout tabs at the back of the box but it is
not coming off. I am suspecting if it is even really a breakout tab.
Please help.... thanks


Please see photos of the outlet box....

The instructions tell you to mount the box using the tabs in that
plastic bag.
You might be able to punch out those holes with a drift punch but I
would drill them.


There are only 2 tabs in the plastic bag. If I am mounting the box
vertically, do i install the tabs diagonally, that is, one at the top
left and the other at the bottom right of the box? Would it be strong
enough to hold the box securely on the wall?
