connection box to allow the cold lead to be routed to the electrical box.
2. If necessary, create a small groove on the subfloor to accommodate the
mechanical joint and / or cold lead (approximately ¼” deep
)
. The groove should
be as close to the sill plate hole as possible.
3. Secure the mechanical joint to the subfloor with duct tape or hot glue.
4. Secure excess cold lead to the subfloor using industrial-grade hot glue.
Ensure the glue-gun tip does not touch any portion of the cold
