Thomas & Betts CCT-1 Device Boxes, Covers & Accessories, 100 Pack

The CCT-1 is part of the Dry-tite line, rated for dry, damp and wet locations, and it is UL listed. One condition: it is only rain tight when paired with an appropriate Red Dot cover. The box alone, open or with the wrong cover, is not a weatherproof assembly. The machined cover edges are what give the gasket a clean sealing surface.

One gang. It takes a single wiring device, switch, receptacle, electronic component or terminal block, with an accessible wiring chamber behind it for splices and pulling conductors. For multi-gang work on the same job you would need a different box, such as the Cantex EZ Series multi-gang residential outlet box.

It is sold 100 to the pack, in an order multiple of 10, with 10 per outer package. The unit of measure Thomas & Betts sells on is Each, so a 100 pack is 100 individual boxes. That volume suits an electrical contractor rough-in or an MRO stockroom rather than a one-off replacement.

The Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof outlet box is the nearest like-for-like option. Like the CCT-1, it is a die-cast aluminum one-gang outlet box intended for weather-exposed device locations. The CCT-1 is a die cast aluminum, one-gang box in an aluminum lacquer finish, so a crew standardized on cast aluminum boxes can carry either without changing the mounting approach or the material spec on the drawing.

The CCT-1 is a die cast aluminum device box for dry, damp and wet locations and is rain tight with the appropriate covers, but it is not an explosionproof enclosure. For a classified location, move to the Appleton GRJ series explosionproof conduit outlet box in malleable iron, or the Appleton GRJS universal explosionproof conduit outlet box. Both are malleable iron rather than cast aluminum, which changes the material callout and the weight of the assembly.

Die cast aluminum with an aluminum lacquer finish, silver in appearance. The die cast body is what makes it a rugged device enclosure, and precision cast and machined interior surfaces mean conductors are not dragged across rough metal during a pull. It is also RoHS compliant.

The casting includes mounting lugs, which accept a variety of mounting methods, so the box fastens directly without a separate bracket in most cases. The device mounting plates are securely fastened as part of the box, which is what keeps devices from working loose and generating callbacks.

Two different jobs. The CCT-1 is a die cast aluminum Dry-tite device box for dry, damp and wet locations, intended to house a wiring device behind a gasketed cover. Explosionproof boxes such as the Appleton GRJ Series or the GRJS Series universal box are malleable iron and are specified for hazardous classified areas. If your drawing calls for a hazardous location, the CCT-1 is not the substitute.

The Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof outlet box is also die-cast aluminum and one gang, so it covers the same kind of exterior device opening. The CCT-1 is packed 100 to a pack in multiples of 10, which is a bulk contractor quantity rather than a single-box buy.

No. The CCT-1 is a one-gang Dry-tite device box. A range or dryer receptacle needs a purpose-built enclosure such as the Pass & Seymour P242RRD range and dryer box, which is thermoplastic and built for that application.

For interior residential device locations, the Cantex EZ series PVC multi-gang residential outlet box is the non-metallic alternative. It is PVC rather than the CCT-1's die cast aluminum, and it is built for multi-gang residential device layouts, while the CCT-1 is a one-gang box rated for dry, damp and wet locations. If the device is exposed to weather or needs a gasketed cast cover, stay with the CCT-1.

No. The Pass & Seymour P242RRD is a thermoplastic range and dryer box, built to house a single high-amperage appliance outlet, not a general-purpose device box. The CCT-1 is a die cast aluminum one-gang box for wiring devices, switches, electronic components and terminal blocks in dry, damp and wet locations. They are not interchangeable even though both show up as outlet boxes.

The CCT-1 is a one-gang device box sized to accept standard wiring devices behind a gasketed cover. Where the detail calls for a round body on a conduit run rather than a device box, the Appleton GRT75 malleable iron round conduit outlet box is the fitting to specify. It is malleable iron rather than die cast aluminum, and it is a conduit body, so it does not carry a one-gang device plate the way the CCT-1 does.

Two cast aluminum choices fit that standard: the Thomas & Betts CCT-1, a die cast aluminum one-gang box in an aluminum lacquer finish and silver color, UL listed and RoHS compliant, suitable for dry, damp and wet locations; and the Mulberry Royal Mountie die-cast aluminum one-gang weatherproof box. The CCT-1 is supplied in 100-piece packs, which suits portfolio-level buying where the same box repeats across many units.

37.5 lbs per 100 boxes. The carton measures 10.25 by 7 by 6 inches. That is useful if you are staging multiple cartons to a floor or calculating a freight line on a bulk electrical order.

Yes. The CCT-1 has an accessible wiring chamber, so you can pull conductors, make splices, or swap out a device or terminal block later by removing the cover rather than disturbing the enclosure or the conduit run. That matters for property managers and facility crews maintaining a system over time.
