Eaton’s new EZ box and EZ trim represents the first significant change in panelboard box and trim designs in more than a half-century. The EZ box and EZ trim have been designed for faster, more secure and safer installations. The new EZ box and EZ trim are provided standard for Eaton Pow-R-Line 1a and Pow-R-Line 2a lighting panelboards, as well as our Pow-R-Line 3a mid-range panelboard.

Features

• Virtually eliminates sharp edges.
• Trim installs in seconds rather than minutes.
• Door-in-door is standard.
• Ability to adjust flush box to wall irregularities.
• Trim installs without the need for tools.
• No exposed hardware (because there is none).
• Multipoint door latch over breakers.

The EZ box flanges are bent and painted, which virtually eliminates the sharp edges associated with traditional boxes. Additionally, all steel panelboard chassis parts are painted. This significantly reduces potential injury for material handlers and installers. Each flange is adjustable outward up to 3/4 inch. This feature allows the installer to adjust flush box applications to be level and flat with the finished wall after the wall material is installed to help correct wall irregularities. The new box flange also provides the means for attaching the EZ trim.




Fast Installation
The EZ trim incorporates a patent pending, ground breaking design that installs in seconds, rather than minutes. The standard trim features include door-in-door construction; no exposed hardware and no tools are required for installation.

Each EZ trim includes hangers attached on the right side. The bottom trim hanger has a notch in its base. To install, the bottom hanger is inserted into the bottom right side box flange opening, resting the notch on the flange.



The balance of the hangers are aligned with the other flange openings and pushed in. When all hangers are in the box flange, the trim is lifted up slightly to clear the notch on the bottom hanger, and the trim in self-supported on the EZ box. The installation is completed by swinging the trim to the closed position, then lifting and pushing slightly to the right. The trim will drop into place totally secured. The multi-point catches on the left side of the trim will lock into the left side box flange openings.

To prevent the trim from being removed by non-authorized persons, a unique sliding means automatically latches in place when the trim door is closed. For added safety, a screw is provided to secure the latch for those who require extra security. The new EZ trim utilizes an exclusive catch system that fastens the door to multiple points. Along with a new lock, the EZ trim offers a high degree of door security.
