Raco 605-RAC Gangable Switch Box 3.5 Inch Deep

Product Description

The RACO 605-RAC is a pre-galvanized steel gangable switch box designed for residential and commercial electrical rough-in work. Built to a 3.5-inch depth with a 0.5-inch setback bracket, it accommodates standard wiring devices in tight or standard stud-bay installations. The box ships with NMSC clamps and a TS bracket, giving electricians the hardware needed for direct conduit termination and bracket mounting without sourcing separate fittings. The 3-inch by 2-inch footprint follows standard single-gang switch box dimensions, and the gangable design allows multiple boxes to be joined side by side when multi-gang assemblies are required.

This switch box is suited for new construction and retrofit electrical installations in both residential and light commercial settings. Electricians use it for device mounting at wall switch locations, outlet rough-ins, and low-voltage control wiring wherever a standard single-gang steel box is specified. The included NMSC clamps support non-metallic sheathed cable entry, making the box practical in wood-frame construction where NM cable is the primary wiring method. The TS bracket simplifies positioning on wood studs with the 0.5-inch setback that accounts for standard drywall thickness.

Key Features

• Gangable design allows side-by-side assembly for multi-gang switch and outlet configurations
• Includes NMSC clamps for direct NM cable termination without separate connectors
• TS bracket with 0.5-inch setback sized for standard drywall installations
• Pre-galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical interior wiring environments
• 3-inch by 2-inch footprint matches standard single-gang device dimensions
• 3.5-inch depth provides adequate wire fill capacity for most residential wiring scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard new-construction switch box compatible with single-gang wiring devices; gangable construction allows pairing with matching RACO or compatible steel switch boxes for multi-gang assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 314 requirements for box fill, support, and device mounting. De-energize all circuits at the panel before making any wiring connections. Secure the box to framing using the TS bracket and verify the 0.5-inch setback aligns flush with the finished wall surface before fastening. Do not exceed the calculated box fill capacity based on conductor count and device type as required by code.
