Raco 821 Gang Box Cover Raised 2 Gang Device Cover

Product Description

The RACO 821 is a raised-type gang box cover designed for use with 2-gang electrical outlet boxes. Constructed from 0.0625-inch pre-galvanized steel, this device cover provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish suitable for standard electrical enclosure applications. The raised profile measures 3/4 inch and accommodates a 10 cubic inch capacity. The overall width is 7-1/16 inches, making it compatible with standard 2-gang box footprints. Meets UL 514A and CSA C22.2 approvals and conforms to ANSI and NEMA OS1 standards. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this cover during rough-in or finish electrical work in residential and light commercial construction.

This cover is used on 2-gang device boxes where a raised cover profile is required for wiring device installations. The device opening type accommodates standard switches, receptacles, and similar wiring devices. The pre-galvanized steel construction suits both dry and protected interior installations. A built-in partition feature divides boxes into separate compartments, and the cover design also fits the next smaller box size, meaning a 3-gang cover can fit a 2 or 3-gang box, offering added flexibility on the job site.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify with a voltage tester before removing or installing any box cover. Secure the cover to the gang box using the appropriate machine screws for the box type.
