Can I use this box with metal-clad cables?

Yes, ensure that the metal-clad cables are properly terminated and secured in accordance with electrical regulations.

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a saw to cut the plasterboard, a screwdriver, and potentially a knockout tool.

Are there any specific safety precautions I should take?

How do I secure the box to the plasterboard?

Troubleshooting

Box does not sit flush with the wall.
