Abstract:
1. An electrical rough-in box for a low voltage transformer, comprising: a rough in box comprising one or more sidewalls and a bottom wall, wherein said one or more sidewalls are connected to said bottom wall and have a channel recessed therein; a cover removably attached to said rough in box, forming a high voltage wiring section of about 120V AC in said rough in box, said cover comprising a recessed portion adjacent to one or more flanges forming a raised relief in relation to said recessed portion to form a low voltage wiring section of about 24 Volts or less AC or DC and said flanges contain an entryway aligned with said channel, wherein said one or more flanges are adapted to accept means for attaching said cover to said rough in box, said recessed portion having an opening there through; a low voltage transformer comprising a primary high voltage end and a secondary low voltage end, wherein said low voltage transformer is attached to said cover, and said secondary low voltage end of said low voltage transformer is disposed through said opening in said recessed portion of said cover into said low voltage wiring section; a first plurality of wires affixed to a high voltage source and extending from the exterior of said rough in box through an entryway in said rough in box into said high voltage wiring section and connecting to said primary high voltage end of said low voltage transformer; and a second plurality of wires connected to said secondary low voltage end of said low voltage transformer for attachment to a low voltage appliance at about 24 Volts or less AC or DC.
