A cover for pre-wired conduit boxes for use in installing sheet wall material around the conduit boxes, with or without mud rings having an opening and side walls, the conduit boxes having a front opening and spaced side walls and a back wall that define a cavity therein, and with fixtures and wiring contained therein. The cover is made from a puncture and ablation resistant material, such as steel, and has a face plate with a perimeter edge and apertures formed therethrough. The cover is sized to cover the front opening of the conduit box or the mud ring, and has arms extended rearwardly therefrom which are adapted to snugly engage with side walls of the conduit box of mud ring. The cover is preferable a unitary structure, and when the cover is placed over the front opening of the outlet box or mud ring, the perimeter of the cover provides a guide for a cutting tool, such as a router, which will allow a user to cut out an opening through the sheet material to complete installation of the wall sheet material. The cover is easily removable after the sheet wall material is installed and desired wall treatment (e.g. painting, wallpapering, etc.) is completed. The outlet boxes can be pre-wired with fixtures and wiring.
