Thomas Betts LXWOW-25 1 Gang Steel Switch Box

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS LXWOW-25 is a single-gang steel electrical switch box designed for old-construction (retrofit) wall installations. It measures 3 inches in overall height, 2 inches in overall width, and 2-1/2 inches in overall depth, providing a compact footprint suited for tight stud bays. The box ships pre-galvanized for corrosion resistance and features three 1/2-inch knockouts to accommodate standard NM, conduit, or flex wiring entries. It is non-weather-resistant and intended for interior dry-location use. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the primary installers for this type of device box.

The LXWOW-25 is suited for residential and light commercial retrofit wiring projects where access to the stud face is available after drywall installation. Its old-construction mounting style eliminates the need for open-wall access, making it a common choice during service upgrades, outlet additions, and switch replacements in finished walls. The rectangular form factor accommodates standard single-gang switch and receptacle devices.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage with a meter before beginning any wiring work. Use appropriate cable connectors or conduit fittings at each knockout entry to maintain the box's wiring integrity. Do not use this box in wet, damp, or outdoor locations, as it is rated for non-weather-resistant applications only.
