Wiremold Company BW5 Metal Starter Box White 5 Pack

Product Description

The WIREMOLD COMPANY BW5 is a white metal starter box designed to serve as the power entry point for a surface-mounted raceway wiring system. It fits directly over an existing single gang outlet box, allowing a licensed electrician to transition from the in-wall wiring to an exposed raceway run. The box is 1 inch deep and is constructed of metal, providing a durable, code-appropriate enclosure at the feed point. Each package contains 5 units, making it practical for multi-room or commercial retrofit projects.

This starter box is used in residential and light commercial installations where surface raceway systems are added to existing structures without opening walls. Typical applications include office retrofits, classroom wiring upgrades, and residential accessibility modifications where new outlets or data drops must be added along baseboard or wall-mounted raceway. It is installed by licensed electricians as the originating feed box where the raceway system begins at an existing single gang outlet location.

• 1 inch depth accommodates standard wall box projections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style starter box for use with surface-mounted metal raceway wiring systems, fitting over standard single gang outlet boxes as the system feed point.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for surface raceway wiring systems. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. The starter box mounts over the existing single gang box using the provided hardware and must be properly bonded to the raceway system ground path.
