Eaton tp222 Gangable Switch Box 12.5 Cu-in Steel

Product Description

The EATON tp222 is a gangable switch box designed for use in residential and light commercial electrical wiring applications. Constructed from steel, this box provides a durable enclosure for device mounting in standard wall installations. With a 12.5 cubic-inch interior capacity and three knockouts sized at 0.5 inches, it accommodates common conduit and cable entry configurations. Electricians use this box in single or multi-gang switch and outlet installations, particularly where field ganging is required to expand device capacity without separate rough-in boxes.

This switch box is suited for new construction and retrofit wiring in residential walls and light commercial partitions. Its gangable design allows adjacent boxes to be joined side by side, making it appropriate for multi-switch or multi-outlet locations. The 0.5-inch knockout size is compatible with standard EMT and conduit fittings used in typical branch circuit rough-in work. The steel body holds up in standard interior wall cavities.
