Mulberry 2-Gang Weatherproof Outlet Box, Powder-Coated Die Cast Aluminum, 4-1/2-In

This Mulberry 2-Gang Weatherproof Outlet Box is built from die cast aluminum with a powder-coated finish for long-lasting durability on the job site. Designed to house two devices in a single weatherproof enclosure, this 4-1/2-In box includes an integrated grounding lug for a secure, code-conscious ground connection. Electricians rely on outlet boxes like this one to mount receptacles, switches, or other wiring devices in locations where exposure to moisture, dust, and outdoor conditions would compromise a standard indoor box. It's a solid choice for professionals who need a rugged, corrosion-resistant enclosure for outdoor or wet-location device installations on commercial and residential projects alike.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 4-1/2-In overall box size, sized to accommodate 2-gang device and cover configurations.
  • Durable Construction: Die cast aluminum body resists corrosion, impact, and the general wear that comes with demanding outdoor installation environments.
  • 2-Gang Configuration: Houses two devices, such as receptacles or switches, within a single weatherproof outlet box, simplifying multi-device installations.
  • Grounding Lug: Integrated lug provides a dedicated, secure termination point for equipment grounding connections.
  • Powder-Coated Finish: Applied coating adds an extra layer of corrosion and wear resistance to the die cast aluminum housing, helping it hold up over repeated outdoor exposure.

Why Mulberry?

Mulberry 30242 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Mulberry 30242 outlet box be used outdoors in a wet location?
Yes. The Mulberry 30242 is a weatherproof box built for outdoor and wet-location device installations, where rain, humidity, and temperature swings would ruin a standard indoor box. The die cast aluminum body carries a powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance on exposed exterior walls, posts, and equipment connections. You still need a weatherproof cover rated for the way the devices will be used to complete the installation.
2) How many devices will the Mulberry 30242 hold?
Two. It is a 2-gang box, so you can mount two wiring devices, any mix of receptacles and switches, in one enclosure instead of running two separate single-gang boxes. That saves material and labor on multi-device exterior work.
3) Does the Mulberry 30242 have a grounding lug, or do I need to add a ground screw?
A grounding lug is integrated into the box, so you have a dedicated termination point for the equipment grounding conductor without adding a separate screw or clip. That matters on a metal exterior box where the enclosure itself has to be bonded.
4) Should I use a die cast aluminum weatherproof box or a PVC box outside?
Aluminum versus PVC comes down to exposure and impact. The Mulberry 30242 is die cast aluminum with a powder coat, which takes physical abuse and holds threads well, and it has a grounding lug because the metal enclosure needs bonding. A nonmetallic box like the Cantex EZ Box multi-gang residential outlet box is nonconductive and won't corrode at all, which is why it shows up on residential work, but it won't take the knocks a cast box will. For exposed commercial exterior device boxes, the cast aluminum is the usual call.
5) What's the difference between the Mulberry 30242 and a Red-Dot 2-gang conduit outlet box?
Both are 2-gang exterior device boxes, but the Thomas & Betts 2IH3-1 Red-Dot is a conduit outlet box with three 1/2 inch hubs cast in, so your raceway threads straight into it and it ships in a 100-pack for volume work. The Mulberry 30242 is a powder-coated die cast aluminum 2-gang weatherproof box with a grounding lug. If your feed is 1/2 inch rigid or EMT with compression fittings and you need threaded hubs on three sides, the Red-Dot hub configuration is the one to spec.
6) Does the Cantex EZ Box need a grounding lug like the Mulberry 30242 has?
A nonmetallic box such as the Cantex EZ Box PVC multi-gang outlet box does not have a metal body to bond, so the equipment ground is handled at the device and splice rather than at the box. The Mulberry 30242 is metal - die cast aluminum - and carries an integrated grounding lug as a dedicated termination point for the equipment grounding conductor. Plan the ground path accordingly when swapping between the two.
7) Is a residential PVC multi-gang box an acceptable substitute when a spec calls for a die cast aluminum 2-gang weatherproof box?
No. The Cantex EZ Box is a PVC multi-gang residential outlet box, a different material class and aimed at residential installations. A spec written for a die cast aluminum body with a powder-coated finish is met by the Mulberry 30242 2-gang weatherproof outlet box; among metal options, the Thomas & Betts 2IH3-1 Red-Dot 2-gang conduit outlet box is the comparable to review.
8) What is the Mulberry part number for the 2-gang weatherproof aluminum box?
The manufacturer part number is 30242, a Mulberry 2-gang weatherproof outlet box in powder-coated die cast aluminum, 4-1/2 inch.
9) Is the Mulberry 30242 box corrosion resistant enough for a coastal or wash-down area?
The body is die cast aluminum, which resists corrosion on its own, and the powder coat adds a second barrier against moisture and wear. That combination is what electricians reach for on exterior walls and equipment connections exposed to repeated weather. For heavy chemical or salt-spray service, check the coating against your facility's corrosion spec.
