Masonry Box System Benefits
Masonry boxes provide superior installation permanence compared to surface-mounted alternatives, creating a clean, professional appearance while protecting electrical connections within the building structure. The embedded installation method eliminates exposed conduit runs and provides enhanced security for electrical systems. Four-gang configurations reduce the number of individual boxes required, streamlining installation and reducing material costs for multi-device locations.
Why Choose Steel Construction?
Steel masonry boxes offer exceptional strength and durability for permanent installations, providing superior impact resistance and long-term structural integrity. The material's inherent strength allows for thinner wall construction while maintaining structural performance, maximizing internal wire capacity. Eaton Crouse-Hinds steel construction includes corrosion-resistant finishes that ensure decades of reliable service in masonry environments, making it the preferred choice for electrical contractors demanding professional-grade performance.
