Southwire G500-R-UPC 1-gang Steel Welded Wall Box

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE G500-R-UPC is a 1-gang welded steel wall box designed to house toggle switches, duplex receptacles, and decorative wiring devices in standard residential and light commercial electrical installations. Constructed from welded steel, it provides a rigid, durable enclosure that holds devices securely against the wall surface. The gangable design allows electricians to connect multiple boxes side by side when a multi-device configuration is needed. The box carries both UL listing and RoHS compliance, meeting common code and environmental requirements for electrical enclosures.

This wall box is suited for new construction and retrofit wiring work in residential and light commercial settings. Electricians use it to mount toggle switches, duplex outlets, and similar wiring devices at standard wall locations. The gangable construction makes it practical for installations where two or more devices must occupy the same wall position, eliminating the need to source a larger pre-ganged box for every multi-device rough-in.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the panel before beginning any work on the box or connected devices. When ganging multiple boxes, ensure all knockout openings are properly aligned and any unused knockouts are closed with appropriate fillers.
