Can anyone please tell me how are you supposed to mount this 4-11/16" diameter base to a 4.2" diameter junction box? The base of these are exactly 4.7187" or 4-23/32" in diameter and all of the round junction boxes I can find are all 4.2" in diameter! (I have rectangular now and I have to replace it with a round one). Why does the directions show mounting it to a SQUARE box? How are you supposed to keep out humidity, moisture, bugs, etc., connecting a round base object to one that's square?Thanks.

i got these siding mounts at my local hardware store: Arlington 8141-1 Vertical Siding Lamp Mounting Kit with Built-in Box for 1/2 Inch Vertical Siding LAPworks great. just make sure to measure and get the right cut for the siding on your house.

I noticed the same dang thing.... after I got everything else in place to install it. very frustrating.

FWIW, I read the ruler wrong, it's actually 4-21/32" or 4.656" OVERALL diameter. (Strange that we can't edit or own posts!)

I have to returned this because there is no junction box in home depot that will fit this unit. Even the guy who helped me find it odd, he can't find the junction box to fit the crossbar bracket, he said this will be not watertight fit, very poor design.

I am not sure if I know exactly what your question refers to - the hole at the base of these is round - the shape of the outer base surround is squarish. Sorry for the non-technical description! Does that answer it?

It's not meant for a rack or junction box. It is meant to be wall-mounted independently of other devices. The mounting holes should be spaced for standard stud mounting or you can use anchors appropriate for your wall material.

Should be any standard single gang junction box. I believe it is a 4"? Basically, the holes for this speaker mount line up with a standard blank wall plate. Hope that helps.

It wont fit in a standard unit I thought to do the same ,but not enough room if you have a chime unit relay with springs that go ding dong......I mounted mine on top of the unit its about 2" by 4" sorry cant give you exact dimensiond just rough ones.....need a ladder to climb up to measure its high up on the wall.....good luck

Mine is already installed so I can't measure. The panel is mounted using screws with a paddle at the end that needs to be aligned flush with the panel to go into the wall opening. Once you begin to tighten the paddle there is a catch to prevent it from getting back to the flush position. It is the same design as a remodeling electrical outlet box you would find at your local Home Depot or Lowe's. I happen to have one of them on hand here at home and it would accommodate a wall thickness of 7/8". You could probably squeeze a full 1" if you backed that paddle off a bit more. Hope this helps.

The base of this one measures 2 1/4 inches, as well. I am assuming you want the diameter measurement.

It is round. But it can't be flush, unless you cut into the ceiling? The base is about one inch. I put the brightest LED's I could find in these lights and they're beautiful. They can also be really long or really short, each one has a very long cord to adjust as you see fit. I get a lot of compliments on these. Base is mostly black in color as are the cords. I thought mine were a lot like the picture????

Its 3.5" in diameter. After seeing your question, I tried again to separate the dome from the base and was able to, although a wire from the LED to the battery terminal broke loose. I'll try soldering it back. It should mount OK after that. Thanks.

The practical answer is 4 1/2" material is too large. If the material was 4", then it would be less "impossible". The hang-up would be: clamping the material to the box to hold it steady and supporting the length of the material. This box is just not designed to do this job. Having said that, I love a challenge: you might find a way to hold the material steady using clamps and setting up a temporary jig. I'm not suggesting this, but I would probably try since I own the box already. The best answer I can give you is this: this tool was never designed to do the kind of job you are contemplating. I suggest you go another route.

Thanks everyone for your answers, this is very helpful. Looks like Honeywell needs to correct their measurements for the doorbell unit, it's even incorrect on their website. Just couldn't imagine a 4"x6"doorbell! I will go ahead and order both indoor/outdoor units since the reviews are so positive.

The 5.2 x 2.9 x 0.2 is definitely garbage information. A round item is the same in two directions (diameter) and only different in the length! A non technical person posted the info and I wouldn't have a clue as to how they came up with their measurements. The 0.2 (.050 under 1/4") could be the thickness of the outer 'ring' but that dimension would be irrelevant to what is needed when purchasing.

Pauline, I'm out of town right now, so I can't look up the serial number, but my pot is about 30 years old, that's how long the last ring lasted, and I have the basic regular standard size. The replacement ring I bought was perfect. I was worried too, but I thought the outlay isn't that much, so I gave it a try. I would go for it again. Best, Brigitte

The base is a standard Edison base...fits any standard light fixture...IF you install it in a 120 volt fixture, then you have just FRIED this bulb....if it is the same one I bought, it is 12 volt only !!! If you want to know if you can use a 120 socket being fed 12 volts, then yes you can.Remember that 12 volt normally runs alot higher amperage, but the LED 's require alot less, and wire accordingly...rsbhunter

I don't know if the size of the kits vary but the one I assembled is 1 1/4 x 1 x 7/8". That does not include optional mounting taps to secure the motor to a surface with screws that extend 3/8" out each side of the 7/8' side. In my application it was necessary for building a revolving lighthouse beacon so the actual foot print of the 7/8" side was actually 1 5/8". That is also the dimension in which the hexagonal axle runs through the engine which probably explains its length which I estimate to be approx. 2 1/2" (I would need to disassemble my mechanism to give you actual dimensions, something I am not inclined to do). 2 1/2 " is a pretty close estimate +/- 1/8".

I found a spec sheet online somewhere before I bought mine. It might have been on the MonMount website for item # 194B but I don't recall.Anyway, if I understand you correctly, I laid a ruler on the base behind the shaft and measured to the edge, it was difficult to read because the metal curves but it looks to be about 33 mm. Keep in mind that the mounting plate is not completely flat, there are 2 large bolts that hold the 2 halves of the base together so the bold heads add a few mm to the width. I'm not sure if I can upload pictures here but I will if I can.

Hey WRJJR, I measured the radius of my old shelf (one of the straight sections from the center to the outside) & doubled it to get the length across (diameter). The shelf replacements only come in certain diameter sizes so then I picked the one that came the closest to my measurement!
