IQ4 Panel Backplate: Distance Between Mounting Holes (For Recessed Outlet Installation Behind Panel)

Support
1

Hello,

I am in the final stages of preparing for the installation of a new IQ4 Panel and am hoping to install a recessed outlet behind the panel to accommodate the included power transformer (to avoid running the cable down the wall, for a variety of reasons).

I have the dimensions of the transformer (1.5” x 1.5” x 3.75”) but am trying to assess whether or not a recessed outlet box (likely a two-gang version) would interfere with the mounting of the IQ4 Panel backplate as the screws will obviously need to be installed into the wall.

Would someone be so kind as to provide the distance between the mounting holes on the backplate (vertically and horizontally)?

Thanks!

Between the top screw mounts horizontally is 3.625"

Between a top screw mount and bottom mount is about 3.25"

There is also a center mount option top and bottom.
