RACO 8265 4-11/16 in. Square Welded Steel Box, Raised Ground

The RACO 8265 is a 4-11/16 in. square welded steel box built 2-1/8 in. deep to provide generous interior volume for device and conduit terminations in commercial and industrial electrical work. This UL Listed enclosure features a full knockout complement — one 1/2 in., four 3/4 in., and four 1 in. knockouts plus 3 TKO's (1/2 - 3/4 in. combination) — along with a raised ground provision for simplified equipment grounding. Welded seams deliver added rigidity compared to drawn boxes, and the unit ships without a mounting bracket for flush conduit-supported installations.

RACO RACO232 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the RACO 8265 box include a mounting bracket?
No bracket. The 8265 ships as a bare box for conduit-supported, flush installations, so the raceway carries it or you fasten through the box's own mounting holes. If your framing requires a bracketed box, you need a different RACO configuration.
2) Will the RACO 8265 work outdoors or in a wet location?
The 8265 is a steel conduit box for indoor commercial and industrial installations, not a weatherproof enclosure. For an exterior wet-location device, a die-cast aluminum box such as the Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof 1-gang is the right type; for a hazardous location, Appleton's GRJ Series explosionproof malleable iron conduit outlet box.
3) Is the RACO 232 square steel box suitable for a hazardous or classified area, or do I need an explosionproof box?
The RACO 232 and 8265 square welded steel boxes are UL Listed enclosures for conduit wiring systems in general commercial and industrial work, not explosionproof enclosures. For a classified location you need a box built for that duty, such as the Appleton GRJ Series explosionproof conduit outlet box in malleable iron or the Appleton GRJS Series universal explosionproof conduit outlet box. Use the steel square box for ordinary locations and specify the malleable iron explosionproof body where the area classification calls for it.
4) What should I use instead of a RACO square steel box for an outdoor wet-location receptacle?
The RACO 232 and 8265 are welded steel square boxes intended for conduit-fed device and junction work indoors in commercial and industrial installations. For an exposed outdoor receptacle, a weatherproof body is the right call: the Mulberry Royal Mountie 1-gang weatherproof outlet box is die-cast aluminum, and the Thomas & Betts 2IH3-1 Red-Dot 2-gang conduit outlet box comes with three 1/2 in. hubs for threaded conduit entry. Those hubbed and weatherproof bodies handle the exterior surface mount; the steel square box stays on the interior conduit runs.
5) How deep is the RACO 8265 4-11/16 in. square box?
The 8265 is 2-1/8 in. deep (2.125 in.), which is the deep version of the 4-11/16 square and gives you the interior volume to land several conduit runs plus a device without crowding conductors.
6) Can I use the RACO welded steel box with NM cable instead of conduit?
It is built for conduit wiring systems, and it has knockouts rather than cable clamps and no bracket for stud mounting. For residential NM work in new framing, a box like the Cantex EZ Series PVC multi-gang residential outlet box is the type you want instead.
7) What does the raised ground on the RACO 8265 do for me?
The raised ground is an integrated grounding provision in the box, so your equipment ground lands on a dedicated raised point instead of you having to add a ground screw or clip. It speeds up grounding device terminations in conduit-fed commercial work.
8) Does a cover come with the RACO 4-11/16 square box?
The 8265 is the box body only, with no bracket. You order the square cover or device ring separately to match your trade size and device, so specify a 4-11/16 in. cover for the 8265 and a 4 in. cover for the 232.
9) Do I need a box with mounting hubs instead of knockouts for my conduit run?
The RACO 232 and 8265 ship with knockouts rather than threaded hubs: one 1/2 in., four 3/4 in., four 1 in., plus three 1/2 to 3/4 in. combination TKOs, and no mounting bracket, so the box is supported by the conduit itself. If your spec calls for factory threaded hubs, the Thomas & Betts 2IH3-1 Red-Dot 2-gang conduit outlet box is supplied with three 1/2 in. hubs. Choose knockouts when you want to pick entry size in the field, hubs when the connection must be threaded at the body.
10) Can I substitute a PVC box for the RACO square steel box on a residential remodel?
It depends on the wiring method. The RACO 232 and 8265 are welded steel boxes specified for conduit wiring systems, with knockouts for 1/2 in., 3/4 in., and 1 in. conduit entries. The Cantex EZ Series PVC multi-gang residential outlet box is a nonmetallic residential box, so it fits cable-wired residential work rather than a conduit run. If the drawing calls for conduit and an equipment ground landing on the box, stay with the steel body and its raised ground provision.
11) Is a RACO square box the right enclosure for a range or dryer connection?
The RACO 232 and 8265 are general-purpose square welded steel boxes for conduit-fed device and junction wiring. A dedicated appliance outlet is usually done with a purpose-built body such as the Pass & Seymour P242RRD range and dryer box in thermoplastic, which is made for that connection. Keep the square steel box for standard device and junction terminations on conduit.
12) I need a round outlet box for a fixture outlet, not a square one. What is the alternative?
The RACO 232 and 8265 are square boxes, so for a round opening you would look at a round-bodied conduit box such as the Appleton GRT75 malleable iron round conduit outlet box. The square steel box gives you the larger 2-1/8 in. deep interior volume and a full knockout complement for multi-conduit terminations, while the round malleable iron body suits round fixture outlets.
13) Is a welded box stronger than a drawn box, and does it matter?
The RACO 8265 is welded rather than drawn, and welded seams give the body more rigidity, which matters when the box is supported by conduit alone or takes abuse during rough-in on industrial jobs.
