Square Outlet Box System Benefits

Square outlet boxes provide superior capacity and flexibility compared to standard rectangular boxes, making them ideal for applications requiring multiple conductors or complex wiring configurations. The 4" square format accommodates single devices, multiple devices, or serves as junction points for conductor splicing. The generous 30.3 cubic inch capacity ensures compliance with NEC fill requirements even in high-conductor-count applications, while the multiple knockout options provide maximum flexibility for conduit routing in complex electrical systems.

Why Choose Integrated AC/MC Cable Clamps?

The integrated AC/MC cable clamp system eliminates the need for separate cable connectors, reducing material costs and installation time while ensuring secure cable retention. This design is particularly valuable in mixed wiring systems where both rigid conduit and flexible cable methods are used, providing contractors with a single box solution that accommodates multiple wiring methods. The welded steel construction provides the strength and durability demanded by electrical professionals, backed by Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation and quality.
