Southwire G601-BX-UPC 1-gang Steel Wall Box

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE G601-BX-UPC is a 1-gang steel welded wall box designed for use with armored cable (BX) wiring systems. It supports toggle switches, duplex receptacles, and decorative devices, making it a standard rough-in component in residential and light commercial electrical installations. The box is constructed from welded steel for rigidity and is UL listed and RoHS compliant. Electricians use this box during rough-in framing stages before drywall, securing it to studs or structural members before pulling armored cable through the knockout entries.

This wall box is suited for single-device installations where a 1-gang configuration is required. It is gangable, meaning multiple boxes can be joined together to accommodate two or more devices side by side without requiring a larger multi-gang enclosure. This makes it a practical choice for flexible commercial and residential rough-in work where device counts may change during construction.
