Plumb adjuster for electrical enclosure

An electrical enclosure configured for mounting to a vertical or nearly vertical surface, the electrical enclosure comprising:

• an enclosure wall with an opening therethrough and a threaded surface adjacent the opening;
• and
• a plumb adjuster comprising:
• a side wall with a threaded outer surface that engages the threaded surface of the enclosure wall, the side wall comprising a first end and a second end, the side wall defining a cavity accessible through a first opening at the first end, the first opening configured to receive the head of a fastener for mounting the enclosure wall to the vertical or nearly vertical surface;
• and
• an end wall coupled to the second end of the side wall, the end wall comprising an outer surface configured to engage the surface to which the enclosure wall is mounted, the end wall comprising an inner surface configured to engage the head of the fastener, the end wall defining a second opening that extends through the end wall, the second opening configured to receive a shank of the fastener.

A method of mounting an electrical enclosure to a vertical or nearly vertical surface, the electrical enclosure comprising an enclosure wall with an opening therethrough and a threaded surface adjacent the opening, and a plumb adjuster comprising a side wall with a threaded outer surface that engages the threaded surface of the enclosure wall, the side wall comprising a first end and a second end, the side wall defining a cavity accessible through a first opening at the first end, and an end wall coupled to the second end of the side wall, the end wall comprising an outer surface and an inner surface, the end wall defining a second opening that extends through the end wall, the method comprising:

• engaging the outer surface of the end wall with the vertical or nearly vertical surface;
• rotating the plumb adjuster to move the end wall with respect to the enclosure wall and adjust the distance between the enclosure wall and the vertical or nearly vertical surface until the enclosure wall is substantially plumb or vertical;
• inserting a fastener through the first opening of the plumb adjuster;
• inserting a shank of the fastener through the second opening of the plumb adjuster;
• and
• engaging the shank of the fastener with the vertical or nearly vertical surface to mount the enclosure wall to the vertical or nearly vertical surface.
