The rectangular box measures 3 inches in height, 2 inches in width, and 2.25 inches in depth, providing a compact footprint for switch and device installations in finished walls. The pre-galvanized steel body offers durable corrosion resistance without requiring additional finish treatment. Five 0.5-inch knockouts are included, giving the installer flexible conduit or cable entry options on multiple sides of the enclosure. Licensed electricians are the primary installers for this type of device box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LCOW-25 is suited for old-construction wiring scenarios where the wall surface is already finished and a retrofit box is required. It accommodates a single wiring device such as a toggle switch, rocker switch, or duplex receptacle. The five 0.5-inch knockouts support standard NM cable, armored cable, or conduit entries depending on the wiring method used on the job. The non-weather-resistant rating places this box in dry or damp interior environments only. It is not rated for outdoor or direct wet-location use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-galvanized steel body for built-in corrosion resistance in interior environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOld-construction mount type designed for retrofit installation in finished walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFive 0.5-inch knockouts for flexible conduit or cable routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-gang configuration accepts standard switch and receptacle devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 3 inches x 2 inches x 2.25 inches envelope fits typical stud-bay clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL Listed for compliance with standard electrical installation requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit switch box for single-gang old-work electrical device installations in residential and light commercial interior walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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 breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before opening any boxes or pulling wire. Old-work boxes rely on internal mounting ears or wings to secure against the drywall face — confirm a firm, flush fit before device installation. This box is rated for non-weather-resistant interior locations only and must not be used in wet or outdoor environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical Box Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rectangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Gangs\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Knockouts\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnockout Trade Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pre-Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Old Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeather Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Weather-Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMAS BETTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: LCOW-25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543454187826,"sku":"LCOW-25","price":16.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9f6d73ab3e2bed238452872ca80bcdbf.jpg?v=1785918841","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-lcow-25-steel-switch-box-1-gang-old-work","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
