How do you install electric box in drywall?
More to the point is how are YOU going to get wire to and from the box. Installing the box is the easy part. You first find a stud and measure the box dimensions onto it with one side almost touching the stud. Now, using a 'Keyhole' saw or drywall saw, cut out the box shape. At this point, I insert a 'fish' tape and pull the wire through, usually from the top. I pull the wire out enough to feed into the box and then push the box into the cut shape. Then screw the box into the stud obliquely, or if you've got an 'old work' box, turn the screws on the box to fix the 'ears' and secure the box. Now you can wire the outlet or switch in. -Turn off power first .
Is it a violation to use drywall screws to install a new construction box to a stud inside the box?
If you have wood studs I know of no code restrictions. I think sheet rock screws make good wood screws for many different applications. If you have metal studs, the screws won't hold the box solidly to the stud. This may be a violation; I didn't look it up; but many things are done in a pinch. If this is your situation, connect the box to the stud as best you can. Then, once sheet rock is added and your device and faceplate, there won't be a problem because it all goes together to make an adequate installation. I am NOT saying the box can be free-floating. It should be held more or less in place with the screws. If it is free-floating then you are depending on the faceplate to hold the box and device in place. This is a violation of code.
