Abstract:
1. A method for forming an electrical outlet box installation, comprising the steps of: providing an electrical component that is mounted to an outlet box in a wall such that an operative portion of said electrical component projects through an opening in said wall to a surface thereof; mounting a plate assembly over said outlet box, so that an inner edge of said plate assembly closely surrounds said operative portion of said electrical component and a perimeter portion of said plate assembly extends outwardly therefrom; and applying a layer of wall fill material over said plate assembly so as to form a flush, substantially uniform surface that extends over and around said plate assembly and outwardly from said perimeter portion thereof and blending said layer into a surrounding area of said surface of said wall, so that when finished said layer of fill material appears substantially level and continuous with said surface of said wall and substantially only said operative portion of said electrical component is visibly distinguishable at said surface of said wall.
