Claim:
An electrical box assembly comprising: a molded dimensionally stable box structure formed of a rigid first material having a back with an interior surface and an exterior surface and a side wall with an interior surface and an exterior surface, side wall extending laterally from the back and terminating a predetermined distance from the back and defining exposed edges remote from the back, whereby the interior surfaces of the back and the side wall define an open front of said box facing outwardly from the back and the exterior surfaces of the side walls define an outer perimeter of said box; and a flange formed of a flexible generally flat second material having an interior surface and a spaced apart exterior surface, said flange having an opening defined by inner edges which are molded around the exterior surfaces of the side wall of said box to produce a weather-tight moisture resistant seal between the inner edges of the opening in said flange and the adjacent exterior surface of the side wall of said box and extending outwardly from the exterior surface of the side wall of the box and completely around the outer perimeter of said box, wherein said flange is spaced a distance from the exposed edges of the side walls of said box to accommodate a thickness of an associated wall board, the first material of said box being different from the second material of said flange.
