A receptacle for enclosing low-voltage electronic devices and maintaining
the integrity of a vapor barrier. The receptacle includes a base, and
four side walls. Each side wall is joined to two adjacent side walls to
form a perimeter wall. The perimeter wall is joined to the base and
extends from it in a generally perpendicular fashion. The perimeter wall
and base delineate a generally rectangular enclosure with five closed
sides and one open side. A mounting flange is joined to the four side
walls and extends from them in a generally perpendicular fashion. The
receptacle is positioned within a wall of a building so as to allow at
least one flange direct contact with a structural member. The structural
members of the wall and the receptacle are both covered with a barrier
film. The barrier film is sealingly attached to the flange. A hole is
created through the barrier film within the confines of the receptacle so
that a low voltage electronic device can be mounted in the wall without
compromising the vapor barrier of the building.
