Non-Gangable Switch Box System Benefits

Non-gangable switch boxes provide superior installation flexibility compared to gangable alternatives by eliminating the need for complex gang configurations. This design approach reduces inventory requirements, simplifies installation planning, and ensures optimal box fill calculations for each individual device. The dedicated single-device design also provides better structural integrity and reduces the risk of installation errors common with multi-gang assemblies.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel construction delivers exceptional durability and impact resistance that surpasses plastic alternatives, making it ideal for high-traffic construction environments and long-term installations. The material's inherent strength prevents box deformation during drywall installation and provides superior support for heavy devices. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this steel switch box represents the professional choice for contractors demanding reliable performance and code compliance in every installation.
