I'm trying to install a new vanity light. When I removed the old light bar I found that there wasn't a box behind it. It was attached directly to the drywall.
The vent pipe for the sink runs straight up behind where I need to install the box. At the shallowest, I have 1.25 inches of space between the drywall and the pipe.
I attached a picture of the problem.
The shallow boxes I've found only attach to studs, and my closest stud is 11 inches away. The closer one is on the far side of the vent pipe.
I haven't been able to find any boxes with flanges that attach directly to drywall.
Does anyone know where I can find a shallow box that attaches directly to drywall? Any other ideas (other than installing sconces)?
thanks
