Thomas & Betts CCT-1-20 Device Boxes, Covers & Accessories

The CCT-1-20 is a Dry-tite type box rated for dry, damp and wet locations, and it becomes rain tight only when paired with an appropriate Red Dot cover. The cover is a separate order. Mounted without a suitable cover, you do not get the rain tight assembly.

Yes, it is a single-gang device box, so it takes one wiring device (one receptacle or one switch) behind a one-gang cover.

No. The CCT-1-20 is a UL listed die cast aluminum device box for dry, damp and wet locations and is rain tight when used with the appropriate Red Dot covers, which is a weather rating rather than a hazardous location rating. For classified areas, the Appleton GRJ series explosionproof conduit outlet box (GRJL50) and the Appleton GRJS universal explosionproof conduit outlet box are malleable iron explosionproof boxes intended for that duty.

The Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof outlet box (P473899) is the nearest match: it is a one-gang die-cast aluminum weatherproof box, the same gang count and material as the CCT-1-20, which is a one-gang die cast aluminum outlet box. Both are intended for device mounting in exposed locations, so a Royal Mountie box will cover an opening where a one-gang cast aluminum weatherproof box is called for. Confirm hub size and cover prep against what is already in the conduit run before swapping.

Yes. The Cantex EZ Box is a PVC multi-gang residential outlet box, so it is the non-metallic choice where a cast metal enclosure is not required and more than one gang is wanted. The CCT-1-20 is a one-gang die cast aluminum box with an aluminum lacquer finish, built as a rugged protective enclosure and rated for dry, damp and wet locations with the appropriate cover. Use the aluminum box where the device sits outdoors or in a damp or wet location and the PVC box for dry interior residential device boxes.

Die cast aluminum with an aluminum lacquer finish, silver in color. The die cast body is machined at the openings so conductors can be pulled without snagging, and the clean cover edges let a gasket seat properly, which is what keeps water out on an exterior wall.

It has integral mounting lugs cast into the body, so it can be surface mounted several ways rather than being tied to one bracket. The mounting plates are factory fastened, which is what keeps the device from shifting after install.

Yes on both counts: the box carries UL certification and is RoHS compliant, which covers the two boxes most institutional and government submittal packages ask you to tick.

The Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof outlet box is the closest cross-brand match: die-cast aluminum, one gang, weatherproof. For interior residential multi-gang work neither is right, that is a job for a PVC box such as the Cantex EZ Series.

The Appleton GRT75 is a malleable iron round conduit outlet box, which suits a round fixture or pull outlet in a conduit run. The Thomas & Betts CCT-1-20 is a one-gang device box with mounting lugs and machined surfaces for wire pulling, shaped to carry wiring devices, switches, electronic components and terminal blocks behind a cover. Pick the round malleable iron box for round fixture prep and the one-gang aluminum box where a receptacle or switch is being mounted.

No, they are not interchangeable. The Pass & Seymour P242RRD is a thermoplastic range and dryer box, built around a specific appliance outlet application. The Thomas & Betts CCT-1-20 is a general-purpose one-gang die cast aluminum device box with an accessible wiring chamber for maintaining a system, pulling conductors and making splices, and it is rain tight with the appropriate Red Dot covers. Use the range and dryer box only where that appliance outlet is being served.

Both are one-gang die-cast aluminum weatherproof outlet boxes, so either will carry a receptacle on an exterior wall. The CCT-1-20 has precision cast and machined surfaces for safer wire pulling, mounting lugs that allow several mounting methods, clean cover edges for gasket sealing, and is rain tight with the appropriate Red Dot covers; it is RoHS compliant and finished in aluminum lacquer. The Royal Mountie is the Mulberry equivalent in the same gang count and material. Match hub entries and the cover you intend to use on each.

It is sold each, one box per inner package, with 10 boxes to the outer carton. A single unit weighs 0.42 lbs, so a full carton of 10 is a light pickup for a service van.

Yes. The wiring chamber is accessible, so it works as a point to pull conductors, make splices, or get back in later to change out a device or component. Thomas & Betts also lists it for protecting switches, electronic components and terminal blocks, not just receptacles.

No, the Thomas & Betts CCT-1-20 is a one-gang box. For multi-gang work the Cantex EZ Box is a multi-gang residential outlet box, though it is PVC rather than cast metal, so it is suited to dry interior residential runs rather than the damp and wet locations the aluminum CCT-1-20 handles with the appropriate cover. For a multi-gang metal exterior assembly, gang individual one-gang cast boxes or specify a multi-gang cast box.
