I also used Garvin 5/8 octagon rings for the lights in my 5/8" drywall ceiling, and they are all recessed 3/16" to 1/4". GARVIN Square to Round Device Ring, Flat, 4.77 in Length, 4.15 in Width, 0.06 in Thickness.

I'd save the adjustables for where you plan to install tile. The screws hold friction wedges to secure the extension versus a threaded adjuster like the Garvin ones. Steel City has some adjustable mud rings that go down to 1/2". I was able to tell this when I mounted them. The double-gang adjustables telescope all the way down and sit flat with the 1/2" drywall, but the single-gang ones stick out 1/8". need to contact Mr Morrison out of hours please ring the hospital where you had. I also have a couple Garvin adjustables in my kitchen to accommodate tile not yet installed. Even when the plaster is removed at one week, the whole nose will be. Note that switches near the horizontal drywall seam will appear proud when the drywall goes up, because of the tapered drywall edge, but will be flush once the joint is mudded.Įven if your mud rings end up 1/16" proud, which they won't, the cover plates will still sit flat.

They all ended up 3/16" to 1/4" recessed even with the boxes mounted properly-code-legal but just barely. Then, to be safe, I picked mud rings the same nominal size as the drywall. Of course, adjustable rings would be great, but nowhere local carries them unfortunately.Ĭlick to expand.I rewired most of my house with square boxes and mud rings and spent way too much time researching this same question.

On the other hand, if for some reason I get everything flush when installing, I could have a mudring that sticks out past the drywall slightly which can't be fixed. On one hand, I would love for it to be flush out of the gate, which is why people upsize. Meaning, for 1/2" drywall, using 5/8" vs. I have read that there is a very testy debate going on for years about sizing up vs. Old work plastic is actually fine with me, but for new work, metal is where I will be at. I swore off plastic after years of being frustrated at the terrible declining quality of them as years go by. I am going to be using mud rings in metal boxes for the first time as I am remodeling.
