The most common installation method for channel letters is what is called flush mounted. This is where the letters are individually mounted to the building. Each letter has a whip which is inserted into the building and then gathered behind the wall to a single or multiple transformers, these transformers are then wired to the electrical box.

Another method for installation of channel letters is using raceway or wireway. This is commonly used when landlords or building owners want to reduce or limit the holes in the wall made by the sign. In this case, the letters are mounted to a fabricated aluminum box which is generally 6-8″ tall and deep enough to house the wiring. The wireway or raceway may have clips welded to the top for mounting to the building, making installation easier. As in the Go Spa example above, the raceway is color match to the building to reduce it’s visibility.
