This is actually a work related question, but I figured it couldn't hurt
to throw this out because some of you guys may have run into a similar
situation in the past... I need 140 of these so getting it right up
front
is important.

Let's say that I have a device that requires a 1900 box (no other format
will do) that must be a minimum of roughly 2-3/4" deep, 3" preferred. I
would like to mount it in an existing drywall studded wall with
hopefully
no patching required after the work is complete (drop ceiling, so
fishing
wires no problem.)

There don't appear to be a lot of off the shelf solutions available. In
fact, this is the only one that I saw that even looks like it has a hope
of working properly

I also found the Raco 8206RAC which would appear to work, but it looks
like all holes are through not tapped? in which case that wouldn't
work,
at least not easily.

Anyone else have any product ideas?

thanks

If you "need" a 1900 box, the one you chose should work. The Raco is just
a
low voltage 2 gang opening, not a box. If that would work, there are
other 2
gang openings made by Arlington, or Caddy and others. I would think you
could also use 2 deep gem boxes ganged together



there are only 4 screw holes in the device, and they line up with 1900 box
holes, that is the problem...

mfgr. of the device sells a nice painted surface box for it, but they are
out of stock for 6 weeks (whoops!)

OK, but 1900 boxes only have 2 holes. The Raco 8206RAC has holes like a
1900 2 gang reducing cover, which of course is not 4x4
