1. An electrical wiring system configured to adjustably position an electrical box relative to a wall frame and a wall during wall construction comprising:
- a box mount configured to attach to the wall frame;
an electrical box adapted to receive an electrical cable in communications with a power source,said electrical box slidably attached to said box mount so that said electrical box is movable between a plurality of positions along said box mount;
an opening defined in said electrical box configured to accept an electrical device; and
a plurality of position indicators disposed on at least one of said box mount and electrical box,an alignment guide disposed on said mount so as to align said box mount to the wall frame,wherein said position indicators correspond to movement of said electrical box between the wall frame and the wall surface perpendicularly to the wall surface so as to position said electrical box opening generally flush with the wall surface during the wall construction.

Abstract
An electrical wiring system comprises a box mount configured to attach to a wall stud. An electrical box is adapted to receive an electrical cable in communications with a power source, and the electrical box is slidably attached to the box mount so that the electrical box is movable between various positions. An opening defined in the electrical box is configured to accept an electrical device. Position indicators and a corresponding alignment guide visually indicate at which one of the positions the electrical box is located.
