The housing has a longitudinal axis extending along the length of the box between the two side walls. The housing has a transverse axis extending from the back wall to the front wall. A device plate is disposed within the housing dividing the housing into a first section and a second section. The first section of the housing is enclosed and adapted to house an electrical device and the second section forms an electrical device access area. The device plate has a first panel forming a face plate for receiving a face of the electrical device. The second section is spaced from the first section along the longitudinal axis, and the face plate is in a non-parallel, non- perpendicular alignment with the housing transverse axis.
