Southwire G601-FR-UPC 1-gang Steel Welded Wall Box

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE G601-FR-UPC is a 1-gang welded steel electrical wall box designed for residential and commercial wiring installations. It supports toggle switches, duplex receptacles, decorative devices, and a variety of electrical outlets. The welded steel construction provides a rigid, durable enclosure that holds its shape during rough-in and device installation. The box is gangable, meaning installers can attach multiple units side by side to build multi-device assemblies without separate brackets or frames. UL listed and RoHS compliant, it meets standard electrical code requirements for device boxes used in finished wall applications.

This wall box is suited for new construction and retrofit wiring projects in residential and light commercial settings. Electricians use it during rough-in framing to mount switches and receptacles in drywall and wood-framed walls. The gangable design makes it a practical choice when a single rough-in location needs to accommodate two or more devices, such as a switch-outlet combination or a multi-switch bank. Its steel construction is well suited to applications where a more robust enclosure is needed compared to plastic device boxes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always shut off branch circuit power at the panel before making any wire connections. Secure the box to framing members using the appropriate nails or screws for the wall material and box mounting tabs. When ganging multiple boxes together, remove the appropriate side knockouts before joining units to ensure proper alignment and a continuous enclosure.
