As far as installation goes, most boxes come prewired with four wires coming from the breaker panel. The box's two black wires are connected to the first screw. The red and white wires connect to the second screw. When connecting these wires together it is vital to not use wire nuts or wrap around the screws. You will have difficulty getting the wires to stay put after they are tightened. You want to allow them to move freely, but keep them tight enough that they don't pull away from their holes.
A second piece of hardware might be required if you wish to add a receptacle or container to an existing box. To do this, remove the top of the metal box and place a new coverplate. Once you have made the hole in the cover plate for the new connector, connect all of your wires to it.
