Raco 824 5 Gang Raised Gang Box Cover 12.5 Inches

Product Description

The RACO 824 is a 5-gang raised-type device cover designed for gang boxes in residential and commercial electrical installations. Constructed from 0.0625-inch pre-galvanized steel, it provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish suited for dry and damp interior locations. The raised profile measures 0.75 inches and the cover spans 12.5 inches in width, accommodating five device openings. Internal capacity is 25.5 cubic inches. It carries UL 514A and CSA C22.2 approvals and meets ANSI and NEMA OS1 standards. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this cover in new construction and retrofit wiring projects.

This cover is used on 5-gang electrical boxes where multiple wiring devices such as switches or receptacles are mounted in a single enclosure. A built-in partition divides the box interior into compartments, helping to organize conductors and maintain separation between circuits. RACO device covers of this type are also designed to fit the next smaller box size, meaning this 5-gang cover can fit a 4-gang or 3-gang box as well, reducing the number of SKUs needed on a service truck or job site.

Key Features

• Raised-type profile at 0.75 inches for flush device mounting in deep gang boxes
• 5-gang configuration with device-type openings across 12.5-inch width
• 0.0625-inch pre-galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Internal partition divides box into compartments for conductor organization
• Fits next smaller box size, so a 5-gang cover also fits 4-gang and 3-gang boxes
• UL 514A and CSA C22.2 approved; meets ANSI and NEMA OS1 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5-gang electrical boxes. Per manufacturer design, RACO device covers also fit the next smaller box size, so this cover fits two-gang, three-gang, four-gang, and five-gang boxes as applicable. Verify box dimensions and knockout pattern before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits at the panel and verify absence of voltage before opening the gang box or handling conductors. Secure the cover with the appropriate machine screws for the box size being used. Do not overtighten fasteners on pre-galvanized steel covers, as stripping the screw holes will compromise the grounding path.
