Extension Ring System Benefits
Extension rings provide a cost-effective solution for increasing electrical box capacity without complete box replacement. This approach maintains existing mounting and conduit connections while adding the necessary space for additional wiring, devices, or junction requirements. The modular design allows for future expansion and modification as electrical system needs evolve.
Why Choose Drawn Steel Construction?
Drawn steel construction offers superior dimensional accuracy and structural integrity compared to stamped alternatives. The drawing process creates uniform wall thickness and precise corner radii, ensuring consistent fit with standard electrical components. This manufacturing method also provides enhanced strength characteristics, making the extension ring suitable for demanding commercial and industrial applications where reliability is critical.
