Product Information

Specification

About :

The dimensions of 3 inches by 2 inches refer to the length and width of the box, and the 2-1/2 inch depth provides space for wiring and devices. This size is suitable for standard switch and outlet installations. These boxes are designed for 'old work' or retrofit installations, meaning they can be installed in existing walls. They usually have flanges or wings that secure the box to the drywall or other wall surfaces without needing to attach to a stud. The MC clamp is built for securing metal-clad cables. This feature is important for ensuring that the metal-clad cables are properly anchored and secured to the box, providing both safety and compliance with electrical codes. Knockouts are pre-cut, removable sections that can be punched out to allow cables or conduit to enter the box. The 1/2" size is standard for accommodating various cable sizes. These boxes are often made of galvanized steel or heavy-duty plastic. Steel offers durability and grounding capabilities, which is important in electrical installations.
