Steel City CXWV – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many wires can I put in a Steel City CXWV switch box?
The CXWV is an 18 cubic inch steel switch box. That volume is what sets your conductor count under the box fill rules, so figure your fill against 18 in3 including the clamps, device and grounding allowances. It is sold each, not in a multi-pack.
2) What size opening does the Steel City CXWV switch box need in the wall?
The box measures 3 inches height by 2 inches width by 3-1/2 inches depth. The 3-1/2 inch depth is the number that decides it: you need a stud bay and wall cavity that will take a 3-1/2 inch deep box, which is fine in standard 2x4 framing but will not work in a shallow furring or 2x2 wall.
3) Does the Steel City CXWV take NM (Romex) cable without separate connectors?
It comes with built-in NM cable clamps, so you land nonmetallic sheathed cable straight into the box with no separate cable connectors to buy. If you are pulling in EMT or MC instead, this is the wrong box style, use a box with knockouts and the matching fittings.
4) Can I gang two Steel City CXWV boxes together for a two-gang switch?
Yes. The CXWV is a gangable box, so the side plates come off and you can join boxes to build two-gang, three-gang and up for multi-switch locations. Each box you add brings its own 18 cubic inch volume for fill calculations.
5) What is the cover bracket on the Steel City CXWV for?
The CXWV includes a cover bracket, which sets the box face position relative to the stud so the box lands flush with the finished drywall rather than recessed. It saves fitting a separate mounting bracket on new work framing.
6) Where is the Steel City CXWV box made?
Canada. That matters if you are on a project with country-of-origin reporting or a domestic sourcing schedule to fill out.
