RACO 600 Gangable Steel Switch Box with AC/MC/Flex Clamps

The RACO 600 is a UL Listed gangable steel switch box built for reliable device mounting in residential and commercial wiring installations. Measuring 3 in x 2 in with a 3-1/2 in. deep interior, this box features three 1/2 in. knockouts (KO's) paired with integral AC/MC/Flex clamps for fast, secure termination of armored cable, metal-clad cable, and flexible conduit. Built-in plaster ears keep the box properly positioned flush against finished wall surfaces, and the gangable design lets multiple boxes be joined together for multi-device switch and receptacle configurations.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: Rugged steel body classified as a steel box for long-term strength and dependable grounding continuity.

  • Integrated Clamps: Three 1/2 in. KO's with built-in AC/MC/Flex clamps simplify termination of armored cable, metal-clad cable, and flexible conduit wiring systems.
  • Plaster Ears: Molded-in plaster ears hold the box flush and level against finished wall surfaces during installation.

RACO RACO600 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the RACO 600 switch box accept MC cable without separate connectors?
Yes. The RACO 600 has integral AC/MC/Flex clamps at its three 1/2 inch knockouts, so armored cable, metal-clad cable, and flexible conduit terminate directly in the box with no added connectors. Its wiring system rating covers Armored Cable/Metal Clad/MCI-A/Flex.
2) Can I gang RACO 600 boxes together for a two or three gang switch bank?
Yes. The 600 is a gangable box: the sides knock out so boxes join side by side for multi-gang switch or receptacle assemblies. Each box is a 3 x 2 inch single-device footprint, so gang as many as you need devices.
3) How deep is the RACO 600 box, and will it fit in a 2x4 stud wall?
The 600 is 3-1/2 inches deep. A nominal 2x4 stud is 3-1/2 inches actual depth, so the box fills the stud bay front to back with no room to spare behind drywall; it suits new construction and remodel walls framed with 2x4 but not shallower partitions or furred-out walls.
4) Does the RACO 600 come with a mounting bracket or nail-on flange?
No bracket. The 600 ships as a no-bracket box, so you fasten it directly to the stud or framing member through the box itself. If you want a bracket-mounted box for fast nail-up on new framing, order a bracketed version instead.
5) Can I use a non-metallic box instead of the RACO 600 on a romex remodel?
For NM cable work where a steel box and grounding continuity are not required, the Allied Moulded P-181 FlexBox is a 1-gang thermoplastic switch/receptacle box rated 18 cu. in., and the Cantex EZ20SB EZ Box is a 1-gang non-metallic box made for steel stud framing. Neither is the same animal as the RACO 600, which is a steel box with integral clamps for armored cable, metal-clad cable, and flexible conduit; if the feeds coming into the opening are AC or MC, stay with the steel box.
6) What is the closest steel gangable alternative to the RACO 600 switch box?
The Thomas & Betts LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box is the nearest steel equivalent: a 1-gang gangable switch box in pre-galvanized steel. Like the RACO 600, it gangs with adjacent boxes for multi-device assemblies. The RACO 600 is a gangable steel box with a 3-1/2 in deep interior and integral AC/MC/Flex clamps for armored cable, metal-clad cable, and flexible conduit, and it ships with no bracket for direct fastening, so if your terminations are AC or MC the built-in clamps are the deciding detail.
7) What holds the box flush with the drywall during a remodel?
Plaster ears. The 600 has built-in plaster ears that register against the finished wall surface and keep the box flush and level, which is what you want when you are setting boxes against existing plaster or drywall rather than bare framing.
8) Is the RACO 600 UL Listed for commercial work?
The 600 is UL Listed and is intended for both residential and commercial wiring installations, including switch and receptacle device mounting.
9) What is a steel alternative to the RACO 600 if I need the box to adjust after the wall is closed?
The Thomas & Betts LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box is a 1-gang gangable switch box in pre-galvanized steel, and like the RACO 600 it gangs for multi-device runs. The RACO 600 itself is fixed-depth at 3-1/2 inches with plaster ears for flush setting.
10) How many cables can I bring into the RACO 600?
There are three 1/2 inch knockouts with clamps, so up to three AC, MC, or flex runs land in the box. Fill still governs how many conductors you can put in a 3 x 2 x 3-1/2 inch box, so count your conductors and devices before you commit to all three.
11) I need a two-gang box in one piece instead of ganging two RACO 600 boxes. What should I order?
The Allied Moulded 2302-NKV is a one-piece 2-gang switch box in fiberglass-reinforced construction, so it covers a two-device opening without ganging. The RACO 600 takes the other approach: it is gangable, with sides that knock out so two or more boxes can be joined for multi-device switch or receptacle configurations. Choose the single 2-gang body for a fixed two-device layout, and the gangable steel box when the device count may change or when AC/MC/Flex clamps are needed.
12) Which box should I use for a steel stud wall, the RACO 600 or the Cantex EZ20SB?
The Cantex EZ20SB EZ Box is a 1-gang non-metallic box built specifically for steel stud framing. The RACO 600 ships with no bracket and is fastened directly, so it suits openings where you are screwing or strapping the box in place yourself rather than relying on a stud-specific mount, and it brings integral AC/MC/Flex clamps for armored and metal-clad cable terminations.
13) Does the Steel City Adjust-A-Box do the same thing as the RACO 600, or is it different?
Both are 1-gang steel gangable switch boxes, but they are not identical. The Thomas & Betts LXWOWC-25 Adjust-A-Box is a pre-galvanized steel gangable box whose adjustable design sets the box position in the wall. The RACO 600 is a UL Listed gangable steel box with a 3-1/2 in deep interior, molded-in plaster ears to hold it flush to the finished surface, and three 1/2 in knockouts with built-in AC/MC/Flex clamps.
14) Will the Allied Moulded P-181 accept armored cable like the RACO 600 does?
The P-181 FlexBox is a 1-gang thermoplastic residential switch/receptacle box of 18 cu. in., intended for residential device wiring rather than metallic cable systems. The RACO 600 is the one specified for Armored Cable/Metal Clad/MCI-A/Flex, with three 1/2 in knockouts and integral clamps for those cable types, so an AC or MC termination belongs in the steel box.
