Crouse-Hinds CRSTP Steel 1-Gang Gangable Switch Box, 2-Inch x 3-Inch

The Crouse-Hinds CRSTP is a steel 1-gang gangable switch box measuring 2-Inch x 3-Inch, designed for use as an outlet box in residential and commercial electrical installations. Built from durable steel construction, this switch box is engineered to house switches, receptacles, and other wiring devices while providing a solid mounting platform for wall-mounted electrical work. Its gangable design allows multiple boxes to be joined together on site to create a multi-gang assembly, giving electricians flexibility when a job calls for more than one device in a single location. Whether the application calls for a single switch, a single receptacle, or a combined multi-device installation, the CRSTP steel switch box gives contractors a dependable rough-in component sized for standard 1-gang wiring device installations.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 2-Inch x 3-Inch dimensions sized for standard 1-gang device installations.
  • Durable Construction: Steel body provides a rugged, long-lasting enclosure suitable for demanding job-site conditions and repeated handling during rough-in work.
  • Gangable Design: Side plates can be removed to join multiple boxes together, allowing electricians to build 2-gang, 3-gang, or larger assemblies as the job requires without stocking separate multi-gang box parts.
  • 1-Gang Configuration: Sized to accommodate a single switch or wiring device out of the box, with the option to expand via gangable side plates when additional devices are needed at a single location.
  • Versatile Mounting: Functions as a standard outlet box for switch and receptacle installations in walls and partitions, supporting new wall construction and device relocations.
  • Professional Grade: Manufactured by Crouse-Hinds, a recognized name in electrical enclosures and wiring devices for commercial and industrial applications, giving contractors a familiar, code-ready component.

Crouse-Hinds CRSTP162 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Crouse-Hinds CRSTP switch box be joined to make a 2-gang or 3-gang opening?
Yes. The CRSTP is a gangable box: the side plates come off so two or more boxes can be joined on site into 2-gang, 3-gang or larger assemblies. That means you can stock one box for single-device and multi-device rough-ins instead of carrying separate multi-gang shells.
2) What is the difference between the Crouse-Hinds TP162, TP218 and TP238 switch boxes?
All three are the same 2 inch by 3 inch steel 1-gang gangable box; the option that changes between them is box depth. TP162, TP218 and TP238 are the three depths offered, so pick by how much wall cavity you have and how much wire volume the devices and conductors in that box need.
3) What is the difference between the Crouse-Hinds CRSTP switch box and the Cantex EZ Series outlet box?
Material and gang strategy are the two differences. The CRSTP is a steel 1-gang gangable switch box measuring 2-inch x 3-inch, with removable side plates so two or more boxes can be joined on site to build a 2-gang, 3-gang or larger assembly. The Cantex EZ Series is a PVC multi-gang residential outlet box, so the gang count is molded in rather than assembled from single boxes. Choose the steel CRSTP where a metal enclosure is wanted and the gang count may change at rough-in; choose a molded PVC multi-gang box where a nonmetallic box and a fixed device count suit the wall.
4) Will a standard switch or duplex receptacle and cover plate fit the CRSTP box?
It is sized for standard 1-gang wiring devices, so a single switch or a duplex receptacle mounts directly in it. The 2 inch by 3 inch device opening is the normal 1-gang size that standard single-gang cover plates are made for.
5) Steel or PVC box for a residential wall rough-in?
The CRSTP is steel, which is what you want where the wiring method is metal raceway or armored cable and the box needs to carry the equipment grounding path, and it takes job-site handling better. If you are running nonmetallic cable in wood framing and want a nonmetallic enclosure, the Cantex EZ Box series PVC multi-gang residential outlet box is the alternative we carry.
6) I need a two-device box in a wall - should I gang two Crouse-Hinds CRSTP boxes or use a Cantex EZ Series box?
Either route gets you two devices. Ganging two CRSTP steel boxes means removing the side plates and joining them, which lets a single stocked item cover 1-gang, 2-gang or 3-gang openings off the same truck. A Cantex EZ Series PVC multi-gang box arrives as one piece with the gang count already set, so there is no field assembly step but the gang count has to be ordered correctly up front. Contractors who rough in varied device counts across a job often prefer the gangable steel box; those installing a repeating two-device layout often prefer the one-piece PVC box.
7) Is the Cantex EZ Series box a direct replacement for a Crouse-Hinds CRSTP?
Not a one-for-one swap. The CRSTP is a steel 1-gang box offered in three depths, carried as MPN TP162, TP218 and TP238, and it reaches multi-gang by joining boxes together. The Cantex EZ Series is a nonmetallic PVC box built as a multi-gang residential unit. Where a single-gang steel enclosure of a specific depth is called for, stay with the matching CRSTP depth; the EZ Series is the alternative when a residential PVC multi-gang box is acceptable for the opening.
8) Is the Crouse-Hinds CRSTP suitable for commercial work or only residential?
Both. It is specified for switch and receptacle rough-in in residential and commercial electrical installations, including new wall construction, renovation wiring and device relocations.
9) Can I use one box type across a whole building for switches and receptacles?
That is the practical case for the CRSTP. One steel 1-gang box covers single switches and single receptacles, and because it gangs on site it also covers the multi-device locations, so a property or facility can standardize on a single box and just choose the depth that suits the wall.
