Mount The Weatherproof Box

● For wood and hardboard siding, simply drive galvanized deck screws through the mounting lugs. For brick or stucco siding, mount the box with masonry anchors. 

● Fasten plugs into the unused openings of the weatherproof box and seal the openings with sealing components. Make a weep hole at the bottom edge of the box. This allows any water that gets into the box to drain.

● Next, strip insulation off the wire ends.

● Attach the ground wire to the green screw in the box and to the green screw on the GFCI outlet. 

● Clip the ears off the outlet, fold the wires into the box and set the outlet in place.
