Abstract
An electrical box includes an open end providing access to a hollow interior of the electrical box, that is enclosed by a closed end and opposing sidewalls. The electrical box has an angled flange that is integrally molded to create a singular construct formulated from a polymer material. The angled flange is angled along the longitudinal axis relative to the upstanding sides of the electrical box and flattens completely when placed into a final installed position within an aperture within a structure to create a vapor seal between the electrical box and the structure. Also, the polymer material the flange is created from accommodates any small inconsistencies in dimensions, alignment and the like, so as to allow for fast and efficient installation.
