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

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE G601-R-UPC is a 1-gang welded steel electrical 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, the box provides a rigid, durable enclosure that holds its shape during rough-in work. Its gangable design allows multiple units to be joined side by side, giving electricians the flexibility to build multi-device assemblies without separate handy-box extensions. The box carries both UL listing and RoHS compliance, meeting common safety and environmental standards required on most job sites.

This wall box is suited for new construction and retrofit electrical work in residential homes, apartments, and light commercial spaces. Electricians use it during rough-in to mount switch and outlet devices before drywall finish. The gangable feature is especially practical in kitchens, utility rooms, and panel areas where multiple switches or receptacles are grouped together in a single location. It accepts a standard variety of devices, making it a general-purpose rough-in box for most single-gang wiring scenarios.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Secure the box to framing members per NEC box-fill and support requirements before pulling conductors. Do not over-tighten device screws, as this can crack device yokes or distort the box ears.
