Crouse-Hinds TP873 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many gangs does the Crouse-Hinds TP87 series steel gang box come in?
The Crouse-Hinds TP87 steel gang box is sold in four gang counts: 3-gang (TP871), 4-gang (TP872), 5-gang (TP873), and 6-gang (TP874). Pick the gang count to match the number of devices you are ganging in one opening. All four share the same 2-1/2 inch depth and the same knockout pattern, so the only thing that changes across the range is how long the box runs.
2) What size conduit knockouts are on the Crouse-Hinds TP87 gang box, and where are they?
Knockouts sit on the bottom and the ends. The bottom carries six 1/2 inch and four 3/4 inch knockouts. Each end carries one 3/4 inch and one 1 inch. So a 1 inch home run can only come in through an end, not the bottom, which matters when you are feeding the box from below in a stud bay. Everything else, 1/2 and 3/4 EMT or flex, you can bring in either way.
3) Is the Crouse-Hinds TP87 gang box rated for hazardous or wet locations?
No. The TP87 steel gang box is classified for ordinary, non-hazardous locations only. If you are wiring a paint area, a fuel room, a grain-handling space, or any other classified location, this is the wrong enclosure and you need a box built for that Class and Division. For ordinary commercial, residential, and general industrial interiors it is the right category of box.
4) Is a 2-1/2 inch deep gang box deep enough for my device count and wire fill?
The TP87 box is 2-1/2 inches deep, which is the deeper end of what you find in a device box and gives you room to fold conductors behind switches or receptacles rather than fighting them. Depth is fixed across the 3, 4, 5, and 6 gang versions, so if you need more volume you gain it by going to a higher gang count, not by going deeper. Note that 2-1/2 inches of depth needs a stud bay or wall cavity that can take it, so confirm your wall build before you commit on a shallow furred-out wall.
5) Does the Crouse-Hinds TP87 gang box meet NEC requirements for a commercial job?
The TP87 box conforms to NEC and CEC standards, which is what an inspector and a spec writer are looking for on the enclosure itself. It is a steel box, so it will accept an equipment grounding connection and is suited to metallic raceway systems on both sides of the border. That said, NEC box fill calculations are still on you: the code conformance of the box does not settle how many conductors and devices you can legally put in it.
6) Which Crouse-Hinds TP87 part number do I order for a 4-gang switch bank?
TP872 is the 4-gang. The rest of the family runs TP871 for 3-gang, TP873 for 5-gang, and TP874 for 6-gang. Order by device count at the opening, not by the width of the plate you plan to use, and remember that the knockout layout (six 1/2 inch and four 3/4 inch on the bottom, one 3/4 inch and one 1 inch on each end) is the same whichever gang count you take.
7) Can I feed a gang box through the end and continue the run out the other end?
Yes on the TP87 box. Each end panel has its own knockouts, one 3/4 inch and one 1 inch, so you can bring the feed in one end and carry the circuit out the other without touching the bottom knockouts. That keeps the ten bottom knockouts (six at 1/2 inch, four at 3/4 inch) free for the branch drops to devices.
8) What are the dimensions of the Crouse-Hinds TP87 gang box?
The TP87 gang box is listed at 2-1/2 inches deep, 4.25 inches wide, and 2.5 inches high. Use the depth figure against your wall cavity and the width against your stud spacing before you rough in; the overall run of the box grows with the gang count you order, from 3-gang up to 6-gang.
