About this detail

Electrical outlet boxes are installed in a typical double stud or staggered stud partition with sound isolation. Outlet boxes must be placed in separate stud spaces with no back-to-back placements permitted, maintaining a minimum spacing of 24 inches. Separate conduits are required for outlet boxes on opposite sides of the partition, ensuring no physical contact occurs between the studs. All unused knock-outs in the outlet boxes must be plugged with knock-out caps. Fire barrier moldable putty pads, equivalent to Lowry's outlet box pads, are required for acoustically insulated and rated walls, with box depth selected to be compatible with the stud size.
