RACO RACO560 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can RACO 560 switch boxes be ganged together for two- and three-gang device assemblies?
Yes. The RACO 560 is a gangable steel switch box, so the side plates come off and boxes join to build 2-gang, 3-gang or wider assemblies for multi-device installs. If you want a factory 2-gang box instead of ganging singles, the Allied Moulded 2302-NKV is a fiberglass reinforced 2-gang switch box.
2) How does the RACO 560 mount if it has no bracket?
The 560 ships with no bracket, so it is supported by the conduit entering it rather than nailed or screwed to a stud. That is standard practice in conduit systems. It does have integral plaster ears to set the box flush with the finished plaster or drywall surface. If you need a box that fastens directly to framing, choose a bracketed version instead.
3) What is the closest gangable steel alternative to the RACO 560 switch box?
The Thomas & Betts LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box is the nearest match. It is a 1-gang gangable switch box in pre-galvanized steel, so like the RACO 560 it gangs with additional boxes for multi-device assemblies and uses a steel body. The RACO 560 is 2-3/4 in. deep and comes with no bracket for direct conduit-supported mounting, while the Adjust-A-Box carries its own adjustable mounting design.
4) How many 1/2 inch conduit entries does the RACO 560 have and from which directions?
Eight 1/2 in. knockouts, placed so you can bring EMT or flex in from several directions, top, bottom and back, instead of being locked into one run. That matters when you are feeding through a box and continuing on to the next device.
5) I'm framing with steel studs, is the RACO 560 the right box?
The 560 has no mounting bracket, so on steel studs you would be relying on the conduit for support or adding your own strap. For a box made to attach to steel studs, the Cantex EZ20SB EZ Box is a 1-gang non-metallic steel stud box.
6) I need a 2-gang box - do I gang two RACO 560s or buy a 2-gang box?
Either approach works. The RACO 560 is gangable, so two boxes join to form a 2-gang steel assembly with conduit entries on both halves. If you would rather set a single one-piece enclosure, the Allied Moulded 2302-NKV is a fiberglass reinforced 2-gang switch box. The difference is construction and wiring method: the 560 is steel for conduit systems, the 2302-NKV is a molded fiberglass body.
7) What should I use instead of the RACO 560 in a metal stud wall with cable?
The Cantex EZ20SB EZ Box is a 1-gang non-metallic box made specifically for steel stud walls. The RACO 560 ships with no mounting bracket and is intended to be supported by the conduit run itself, so in a cable-wired metal stud partition the EZ20SB mounts to the stud without added hardware. Choose the 560 when the opening is fed by conduit.
8) Is the Allied Moulded P-181 FlexBox a substitute for the RACO 560?
They are different products despite both being single-device switch boxes. The P-181 FlexBox is a thermoplastic residential box rated 18 cu. in. The RACO 560 is a UL Listed steel box, 2-3/4 in. deep, with eight 1/2 in. knockouts and plaster ears for flush mounting in plaster or drywall. For conduit rough-in or where a metallic box is specified, the 560 is the one to order.
