Thomas & Betts DCCGV-WH Device Boxes, Covers & Accessories, 100 Pack

The DCCGV-WH is part of the Dry-tite line, which protects wiring devices, switches, electronic components and terminal blocks in dry, damp and wet locations. It is only rain tight when paired with the appropriate Red Dot cover, so the cover selection is what decides the wet-location rating, not the box alone. It is UL listed.

One gang, device mount. Cast mounting lugs let you fasten it by several methods, and the mounting plates are secured to cut down on loose-device callbacks.

Pick by location. A die cast aluminum device box suits exposed exterior and damp interior walls where impact and weather are the concern. For residential interior multi-gang work the Cantex EZ Series PVC box is the cheaper, lighter route. For classified hazardous areas neither will do, and you need an explosionproof malleable iron body such as the Appleton GRJ or GRJS Series conduit outlet box. A comparable die-cast aluminum 1-gang weatherproof option is the Mulberry Royal Mountie.

The Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof outlet box is the closest match. Like the DCCGV-WH, it is a die-cast aluminum one-gang weatherproof device box, so it covers the same single-device outdoor or damp-location opening. The DCCGV-WH carries an aluminum lacquer finish in white.

No. The DCCGV-WH is a UL listed die cast aluminum device box for dry, damp and wet locations, and is rain tight when used with appropriate Red Dot covers. For classified areas, use an explosionproof box such as the Appleton GRJ Series or GRJS Series explosionproof malleable iron conduit outlet boxes instead.

Die cast aluminum with an aluminum lacquer finish, in white. The die cast body is an industrial-weight enclosure rather than a thermoplastic box, and the machined interior surfaces are cut clean so conductors do not snag during a pull.

Thomas & Betts sells the DCCGV-WH each, and it is packed 100 to a unit with an outer package quantity of 20. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing receptacle points across a site, that 100 count is the quantity to plan around.

Both points are addressed. The access cover is spring loaded so it closes tight around the electrical device, and the cover edges are cast clean so a gasket seats evenly against them. The wiring chamber behind stays accessible for splices, pulling conductors, or swapping a device out later without disturbing the seal path.

No. The DCCGV-WH is a one gang device box for wiring devices, switches, electronic components and terminal blocks. A range or dryer outlet needs a purpose-built box such as the Pass & Seymour P242RRD range and dryer box.

Yes. The Cantex EZ Box is a PVC multi-gang residential outlet box, and the Pass & Seymour P242RRD range and dryer box is thermoplastic. Both are non-metallic, versus the die cast aluminum body of the DCCGV-WH. Non-metallic boxes do not require bonding of the enclosure itself, while the aluminum Thomas & Betts box is a cast enclosure with mounting lugs for a variety of mounting methods.

The DCCGV-WH is device mount, built to house a wiring device, switch, electronic component or terminal block behind a cover. If the need is a pull or splice point in a conduit run rather than a device enclosure, the Appleton GRT75 malleable iron round conduit outlet box or the Appleton GRJS universal conduit outlet box address that instead.

The DCCGV-WH is a one-gang box. For a multi-gang residential rough-in, the Cantex EZ Box is a PVC multi-gang outlet box. For a dedicated 240V appliance connection, the Pass & Seymour P242RRD is a range and dryer box.

The Appleton GRJL50 and GRJS boxes are malleable iron explosionproof conduit outlet boxes, while the DCCGV-WH is a die cast aluminum device-mount box with a spring-loaded access cover that seals around the electrical device. For a standard exterior wall device in a wet location, the Thomas & Betts box is the device enclosure; the Appleton iron bodies are conduit outlet boxes built for classified locations.

30.25 lbs per 100 pieces, so roughly a third of a pound apiece. The carton measures 10.5 by 5.5 by 7 inches. Useful if you are staging a truck load of them for a multi-unit rough-in.
