Abstract

A steel pin (101) having a thread on one end and a point (202) on the other is a preferred locating apparatus for use during construction or renovations of a building, to specify the position of an electrical flush box (100), or the like concealed within a wall or a ceiling or a floor. The pin (101) preferably protrudes from a captive nut (203) which is normally part of the mounted flush box. When a wall panel (301) is applied, the pin (101) penetrates the panel (301) and signals the position of the now concealed flush box (100) so that a cutout through the panel may be made. The locating apparatus is then removed. Use of this device avoids the tedium of recording measurements prior to wall panel placement, damage to wall panels, and lost flush boxes within walls.
