RACO 296 4" Round Outlet Box, Pack of 100

The RACO 296 is a 4" round outlet box built for standard electrical wiring installations and supplied in a convenient pack of 100 units. This round-profile box gives electrical contractors, maintenance teams, and facility managers a dependable enclosure option for outlet and junction wiring points across residential, commercial, and light industrial projects. Ordering the RACO 296 as a pack of 100 helps crews keep multiple job sites and service trucks stocked with a consistent, uniform box style, reducing the need for repeat small-quantity purchases and simplifying inventory management on larger installation jobs. With every box in the carton sharing the same 4" round trade size, crews can standardize cover plates, fixture mounting, and rough-in layouts across an entire project.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: 4" round outlet box footprint suited for standard round-box mounting and cover-plate configurations.
  • Bulk Pack Quantity: Supplied in a pack of 100 units, giving contractors and distributors a ready supply for multi-point installations without reordering.
  • Round Profile: 4" round design fits common round-box applications where a compact enclosure footprint is preferred.
  • Uniform Sizing: Every box in the pack shares the same 4" round trade size, ensuring consistent fit and finish across multiple installation points on a single job.
  • RACO Branded Quality: Manufactured under the RACO name, a recognized supplier of electrical boxes and enclosures for the professional trade.
  • Confirmed Pack Size: Unit pack size is confirmed at 100 pieces per carton, supporting accurate job-site quantity planning and ordering.

Because the RACO 296 ships as a pack of 100, it is well suited for larger-scale projects such as multi-unit residential buildings, commercial tenant improvements, and ongoing maintenance programs that require dozens or hundreds of matching outlet boxes. Standardizing on a single 4" round box style across a project can help simplify cover plate selection, wiring device mounting, and inspection consistency from unit to unit, saving time for crews working across multiple locations.

RACO RACO296 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade size is the RACO 296 outlet box?
It is a 4 inch round box. Every piece in the carton is the same 4 inch round trade size, which is what lets a crew standardize round cover plates and fixture mounting across every opening on a job.
2) What should I use instead of a 4" round outlet box for an outdoor wet-location receptacle?
The RACO 296 is a 4" round outlet box intended for standard interior electrical wiring and junction points. For an exposed exterior receptacle, the Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof outlet box is a die-cast aluminum 1-gang box built for that use, and the Thomas & Betts 2IH3-1 Red-Dot is a 2-gang conduit outlet box with three 1/2" hubs for surface conduit runs.
3) What is the difference between the RACO 296 4" round outlet box and the Appleton GRT75 round conduit outlet box?
Both are round outlet boxes, but they are built for different environments. The RACO 296 is a 4" round outlet box for standard electrical wiring and rough-in work in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations, sold 100 boxes to the carton. The Appleton GRT75 is a malleable iron round conduit outlet box, so it is the one to specify where a cast metal conduit body is called for rather than a standard round outlet box.
4) Will a standard round cover plate fit the RACO 296?
Yes. The 296 uses the standard 4 inch round box footprint, so 4 inch round covers, blank plates, and fixture canopies made for that trade size mount to it. Since all 100 boxes in the carton are the same size, one cover plate selection works for the whole job.
5) I need a multi-gang box for a switch bank, not a round box. What should I use?
The RACO 296 is a single round 4 inch box, not a gangable device box, so it will not take a two or three gang device plate. For multi-gang residential device work the Cantex EZ Series PVC multi-gang outlet box is the right type. For a range or dryer receptacle, the Pass and Seymour P242RRD thermoplastic range and dryer box is purpose-built for that.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for the RACO 4 inch round outlet box?
The part number is RACO 296, ordered as a 100-piece pack in the 4 inch size. That single MPN is what distributors and supply houses should reference for the bulk carton.
7) I need to gang two or more devices in one location - is a 4" round box the right choice?
No. The RACO 296 is a single 4" round outlet box, suited to applications where a compact round footprint and round cover plate are used. For multi-device openings, the Cantex EZ Box is a PVC multi-gang residential outlet box, and the Thomas & Betts 2IH3-1 Red-Dot is a 2-gang conduit outlet box.
8) Is a 4" round outlet box the right box for a range or dryer receptacle?
No. The RACO 296 4" round outlet box is intended for general outlet and junction wiring points. A dedicated appliance outlet uses a purpose-made box such as the Pass & Seymour P242RRD range and dryer box in thermoplastic.
9) Do I need a metal box, or will a PVC box work in place of the RACO 296?
It depends on the wiring method and the inspector's requirement for the raceway system. The RACO 296 is a 4" round outlet box used for standard rough-in and retrofit wiring where a round cover plate and round-box fixture mounting are wanted. If a nonmetallic box suits the installation and the devices are ganged, the Cantex EZ Box is a PVC residential outlet box in a multi-gang configuration. Where a cast metal conduit body is required, Appleton's GRT75 is malleable iron and round.
10) Is the RACO 296 a good choice for standardizing boxes across a multi-unit building?
That is what the 100-piece carton is for. Every box is the same 4 inch round trade size, so cover plate selection, device mounting, and rough-in layout stay identical from unit to unit, which is useful on multi-unit residential, tenant improvement, and ongoing maintenance programs where inspectors see the same detail at every point.
11) Does the RACO 296 work for new construction rough-in as well as retrofit work?
Both. The 296 round box is used for new construction electrical rough-in and for renovation and retrofit wiring, at outlet and junction points alike. Buying the 100-pack is how contractors keep service trucks and multiple job sites stocked with one consistent box style.
12) Which bulk outlet boxes come 100 to a carton besides the RACO 296?
The RACO 296 4" round outlet box ships 100 pieces per carton, which is what makes it practical for multi-unit residential and tenant-improvement rough-in. Among conduit-style boxes, the Thomas & Betts 2IH3-1 Red-Dot 2-gang conduit outlet box with three 1/2" hubs is also packaged 100 to a pack.
