RACO RACO842 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the RACO 842 cover fit a 4-11/16 in. square box?
Yes. The RACO 842 is sized for 4-11/16 in. square boxes, so the cover footprint matches the box rim for a flush fit. It will not work on a 4 in. square box, which is the other common commercial box size and needs a 4 in. square cover instead.
2) Why would I use a 1-1/4 in. raised cover instead of a flat box cover?
The raise buys you volume and clearance. The 842's 1-1/4 in. raised profile adds interior depth inside a 4-11/16 in. square box, which helps when the box is crowded with conductors and splices or when the device body projects past the box edge. If your box has room to spare and the device sits flush, a flat cover does the same job with less wall projection.
3) Can I mount a single switch or receptacle on the RACO 842?
That is exactly what it is for. The 842 is a 1-gang raised device cover, so it reduces the 4-11/16 in. square box opening down to a single device opening. For two devices in the same square box you need a 2-gang version of the raised cover, not this one.
4) Is the RACO 842 listed for commercial and industrial work?
The 842 is cULus Listed, which covers it for use in the US and Canada on commercial and industrial installations where listed components are specified. That listing is on the cover itself, printed in the RACO spec sheet for the 842.
5) What part number do I order for the RACO 1-gang 4-11/16 raised square cover?
Order RACO manufacturer part number 842. That is the complete catalog designation for the 4-11/16 in. square, 1-gang, 1-1/4 in. raised device cover; there are no finish or size options to specify with it.
6) Is the RACO 842 cover drawn or welded steel?
Drawn. The 842 is formed in a drawn process rather than welded, which gives one continuous piece with consistent wall thickness and no seam at the corners of the raise. For a facility standardizing on one cover across many openings, that means a repeatable fit and finish box to box.
