Crouse-Hinds TP244 Steel 1-Gang Gangable Switch Box

The Crouse-Hinds TP244 is a steel 1-gang gangable switch box engineered for durable, code-compliant device installations in commercial and residential wiring applications. Measuring 2-Inch x 3-Inch x 3-1/2-Inch with an 18-Cubic-Inch interior volume, this outlet box provides ample room for switches, receptacles, and associated conductors while maintaining a compact footprint suited to standard wall cavities. The gangable design allows multiple boxes to be joined side-by-side to form multi-device assemblies, giving electricians the flexibility to configure single or multi-gang installations from the same base unit. Constructed from steel for strength and long-term reliability, the TP244 is a straightforward, dependable choice for new construction and remodel wiring where a rugged, standard-size outlet box is required. Its 1-gang configuration accommodates a single switch or receptacle device out of the box, while removable sides let contractors expand the assembly on site as device counts change, reducing the need to stock multiple box sizes for common wiring layouts.

Key Features

  • Compact Dimensions: Measures 2-Inch x 3-Inch x 3-1/2-Inch, sized to fit standard wall framing for switch and receptacle installations.
  • 18-Cubic-Inch Capacity: Provides adequate interior volume for device and conductor fill in accordance with typical 1-gang wiring requirements.
  • Durable Steel Construction: Steel body delivers the strength and rigidity needed for secure, long-lasting mounting in both new construction and remodel applications.
  • Gangable Design: Sides can be removed to connect multiple boxes together, allowing this 1-gang box to be configured into 2-gang, 3-gang, or larger multi-device assemblies as needed.
  • 1-Gang Configuration: Designed to accommodate a single switch or receptacle device in its standard configuration.
  • Versatile Application: Suited for use behind wallplates housing switches, receptacles, or other standard wiring devices in commercial and residential settings.

Crouse-Hinds CRSTP244 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Crouse-Hinds TP244 switch box be ganged together for a 2-gang or 3-gang install?
Yes. The TP244 is a gangable 1-gang steel box, so the sides come off and the boxes join side by side to build 2-gang, 3-gang or larger device assemblies. That means one box number covers both single-device and multi-device layouts, so you are not stocking separate 2-gang and 3-gang boxes for a typical switch wall.
2) How many conductors will an 18 cubic inch box like the Crouse-Hinds TP244 hold?
The TP244 has an 18 cubic inch interior volume, which is the figure you use for NEC box fill math. Under the standard 14 AWG allowance of 2 cubic inches per conductor that is nine conductor equivalents, and 12 AWG at 2.25 cubic inches each gives eight, before you subtract the device (two equivalents), clamps and grounds. Practically it handles a single switch or receptacle with two cables in and out comfortably.
3) What is the difference between the Crouse-Hinds TP244 and a Cantex EZ Box outlet box?
The Crouse-Hinds TP244 is a steel 1-gang gangable switch box measuring 2 inch x 3 inch x 3-1/2 inch with 18 cubic inches of interior volume, and its sides can be removed so boxes join side by side into 2-gang or larger assemblies. The Cantex EZ Series box is a PVC multi-gang residential outlet box, so it is molded in nonmetallic PVC and comes in a multi-gang configuration rather than being built up from single gangs on site. Choose the TP244 when the job calls for a steel box with metal raceway or bonding practices and you want to set gang count in the field; choose the PVC EZ Box when nonmetallic residential wiring is the standard on the job.
4) I need a 3-gang box for three switches. Can the TP244 do it, or should I use a multi-gang box instead?
Both routes work. The Crouse-Hinds TP244 is designed to be ganged: remove the sides and join three boxes together to form a 3-gang steel assembly, which also lets you change the device count on site without restocking. If you would rather set a single pre-formed enclosure, the Cantex EZ Series is supplied as a multi-gang residential outlet box in PVC. The TP244 route keeps the assembly in steel; the EZ Box route gives you one nonmetallic piece.
5) What are the dimensions of the Crouse-Hinds TP244 outlet box, and will it fit in a standard stud wall?
The TP244 measures 2 x 3 x 3-1/2 inches, the standard switch box footprint, so it sits in a 2x4 stud bay without crowding the cavity. Mount it to the stud face with the front edge set to your finished wall thickness so the device and wallplate sit flush.
6) Is a steel box like the TP244 the right choice, or should I use a PVC box?
Steel is the pick when you want rigidity and a box that will not flex when a device is torqued in, and it is what most commercial specs call for on branch-circuit switch and receptacle work. The TP244 is a steel gangable 1-gang box. If you are running nonmetallic residential work and want a nonmetallic box instead, the Cantex EZ Series PVC multi-gang residential outlet box is the alternative we carry. Remember a steel box is a conductive enclosure and has to be bonded; the PVC box does not.
7) Will the Crouse-Hinds TP244 take a standard switch or duplex receptacle and wallplate?
Yes. It is a 1-gang box sized at 2 x 3 inches at the opening, which is the standard device opening, so any standard toggle switch, decorator device or duplex receptacle and its matching 1-gang wallplate mount directly to it.
8) Is the Cantex EZ Box a direct substitute for the Crouse-Hinds TP244 on a commercial job?
Not a like-for-like swap. The Cantex EZ Series is a PVC box described for residential outlet box use, while the Crouse-Hinds TP244 is a steel box called out for commercial and residential device installations and carries a stated 18 cubic inch volume at 2 inch x 3 inch x 3-1/2 inch. If your specification or inspector calls for a steel box, or your conductor fill calculation is working against the 18 cubic inch figure, order the TP244 rather than substituting the nonmetallic box.
9) What is the exact part number to order this Crouse-Hinds gangable box?
Order Crouse-Hinds TP244. That is the manufacturer part number for the steel 1-gang gangable switch box at 2 x 3 x 3-1/2 inches with 18 cubic inch volume.
