To install the electrical panel, you must first knock out the knockouts to install the feeder pipe. Install the connector into the panel and install a lock-nut to hold it in place. If you're using metal pipe, place a plastic bushing over the connector threads.

Level the panel and insert screws through the holes provided in the back of the panel. If the holes don't land on the studs behind the panel, drill holes to accommodate the installation.
