RACO RACO574 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the RACO 574 switch box mount to metal studs, or only wood?
Both. The 574 comes with a TS bracket configured for metal or wood studs, so the same box works on a steel stud commercial partition and a wood stud remodel wall without a separate bracket or adapter.
2) Does the RACO 574 have built-in cable clamps for MC cable, or do I need connectors?
The 574 has integrated clamps for Armored Cable, Metal Clad, MCI-A and Flex, so AC or MC lands directly in the box without buying separate connectors. If you are pulling through the three 1/2 in. knockouts with conduit instead, those still need the appropriate fittings.
3) Can I gang RACO 574 boxes together for a two or three gang switch bank?
Yes. The 574 is a gangable box, so the sides come off and boxes join to build multi-device assemblies for two, three or more switches on one opening.
4) How deep is the RACO 574 box, and will it fit a 2x4 stud wall?
The 574 is 2-3/4 in. deep on a 3 in. x 2 in. box. A nominal 2x4 stud is 3-1/2 in. actual, so a 2-3/4 in. deep box sets in with room behind it. In a 2x3 or furred-out shallow wall, measure the cavity first.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the RACO 574 switch box from another brand?
The nearest steel equivalent is the Thomas & Betts LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box, a 1-gang gangable switch box in pre-galvanized steel. Like the RACO 574, it is a gangable steel single-gang device box, so it serves the same multi-gang device assemblies. The 574 is specified with a TS bracket for metal or wood studs, a 2.75 in. depth, and clamps for Armored Cable, Metal Clad, MCI-A, and Flex wiring, so match those details against the Adjust-A-Box before swapping.
6) Can I use a non-metallic box instead of the RACO 574 on a residential remodel?
For NM-cable residential work, the Allied Moulded P-181 FlexBox is a 1-gang thermoplastic switch/receptacle box with 18 cu. in. capacity. It differs from the RACO 574 in a way that matters on the rough-in: the 574 is a steel box with integrated clamps for Armored Cable, Metal Clad, MCI-A, and Flex wiring and is gangable for multi-device assemblies, which a single thermoplastic box is not. Where the raceway or cable system requires a metallic box and bonding path, stay with the steel 574.
7) Is the RACO 574 UL Listed for commercial device wiring?
The 574 is UL Listed, which is what most inspectors and institutional specs call for on steel device boxes in both residential and commercial rough-in.
8) Should I use a steel gangable box like the RACO 574 or a non-metallic box?
Pick the steel 574 when you are running AC, MC, MCI-A or Flex and need the metallic raceway bonded through the box, and when you may need to gang for extra devices. If you are pulling NM cable in residential work and want a one-piece plastic box, ZenSupply carries non-metallic options such as the Allied Moulded P-181 FlexBox 1-gang 18 cu. in. box and the Cantex EZ20SB EZ Box non-metallic steel stud box. Those do not gang the way the 574 does.
9) What is another steel gangable 1-gang switch box if the RACO 574 does not suit the job?
The Thomas & Betts Steel City Adjust-A-Box LXWOWC-25 is a 1-gang gangable switch box in pre-galvanized steel. It is the closest steel alternative in the same role; the 574 differs in that it comes with a TS stud bracket and integrated AC/MC/Flex clamps.
10) Which of these boxes looks like a substitute for the RACO 574 but is not?
The Allied Moulded 2302-NKV is the easiest mix-up on a takeoff: it is a switch box of the same general family but a fiberglass reinforced 2-gang enclosure, so it will not drop into a single-gang opening cut for a 574. The Allied Moulded P-181 FlexBox is a 1-gang thermoplastic box and matches the gang count, but not the steel construction or the integrated Armored Cable, Metal Clad, MCI-A, and Flex clamping the 574 provides. If the spec calls for a UL Listed gangable steel box, neither one answers it.
11) For steel stud framing, is the Cantex EZ20SB a substitute for the RACO 574?
The Cantex EZ20SB EZ Box is a 1-gang non-metallic steel stud box, so it also targets steel stud rough-in, but it is not a like-for-like swap. The RACO 574 carries a TS bracket rated for metal or wood studs, which lets the same part number follow you from steel-framed corridors to wood-framed areas, and its steel body with AC/MC/MCI-A/Flex clamps suits armored and metal-clad cable runs. Choose the EZ20SB only where a non-metallic box is acceptable for the wiring method.
12) We standardize on gangable steel boxes across a facility. How do the RACO 574 and Steel City Adjust-A-Box compare for that?
Both are gangable steel single-gang device boxes, so either supports a standard where ganged assemblies are built in the field rather than stocking multi-gang enclosures. The Thomas & Betts LXWOWC-25 is described as pre-galvanized steel. The RACO 574 is a UL Listed steel box 2.75 in. deep with a TS bracket for metal or wood studs and clamps for Armored Cable, Metal Clad, MCI-A, and Flex. For a single stocked part that covers both stud types and armored cable runs, the 574's bracket and clamp combination is the deciding detail.
13) What part number do I order for the RACO TS bracket 3x2 switch box?
Order RACO 574. That single model number covers the 3 in. x 2 in. x 2-3/4 in. deep gangable steel box with the TS bracket and AC/MC/Flex clamps.
