Series Gang Box System Benefits

Series gang boxes provide superior installation efficiency compared to individual single-gang boxes by reducing the number of wall cuts, simplifying conduit routing, and ensuring perfect device alignment. The continuous enclosure eliminates gaps between devices that can compromise fire ratings and provides better support for heavy devices like GFCI receptacles and smart switches. Professional contractors prefer series gang boxes for their ability to accommodate complex wiring configurations while maintaining clean, professional appearances in finished installations.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel gang boxes offer significant advantages over plastic alternatives in professional installations. The superior strength prevents box deformation during device installation and removal, ensuring long-term dimensional stability. Steel construction provides excellent grounding continuity and electromagnetic shielding for sensitive electronic devices. The material's fire resistance and durability make it the preferred choice for commercial applications where reliability and code compliance are critical. Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel boxes are engineered for decades of service in demanding electrical environments.
