Abstract
Moisture-proof flashing panel mounts for use on residential and commercial electrical junction box to be disposed within a building structure wall. The mounts are formed as a generally flat moisture-impermeable panel having therethrough an exteriorly projecting flanged opening defining a frame having an interior frame surface. The interior frame surface of the residential mount is complimentary in shape to the perimeter border of the residential junction box and is sized to allow the shaped border to reside by friction fit within the frame. The exteriorly projected flanged opening of the commercial mount simulates standard commercial single gang; 2 gang; 3/0 and 4/0 box configurations and is mounted to the junction box by plural threaded fasteners. Upon installation, the remainder of the panel is disposed lateral to the frame and is effectively covered with wall finishing material such as lath paper and stucco which is applied to also surround the outer wall of the exteriorly projecting flanged opening that forms the frame. The installation prohibits moisture entry around the junction box and into the building-structure wall.
