Steel City TBLXWOWC-25 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many conductors can I put in a 12.5 cubic inch switch box like the Thomas & Betts LXWOWC-25?
The LXWOWC-25 gives you 12.5 cubic inches of interior volume. Under NEC box fill rules a 14 AWG conductor counts 2.0 cubic inches and a 12 AWG counts 2.25, with the device itself counting double the largest conductor and all grounds together counting as one. That puts a practical limit around six 14 AWG conductors plus a single device, or fewer with 12 AWG. If your wiring count runs higher, gang a second box or move to a deeper box.
2) Can I gang two or three Steel City Adjust-A-Box switch boxes together for a multi-gang plate?
Yes. The LXWOWC-25 is a 1-gang gangable box, so the side plates come off and boxes join side by side to build 2-gang, 3-gang or wider device assemblies on site. You size the opening and the cover plate to the finished gang count, not to the single box.
3) Will a 2-1/2 inch deep steel switch box fit in a 2x4 stud wall?
It will. The box measures 2 x 3 x 2-1/2 inches, and a nominal 2x4 stud is 3-1/2 inches actual depth, so a 2-1/2 inch deep box sets in the cavity with room behind it for the cable. In a 2x3 stud wall or a furred-out wall, check the actual cavity before specifying this depth.
4) I need a gangable steel switch box for a remodel where the wall is already closed. Is the LXWOWC-25 the right one?
The LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box is a gangable 1-gang steel box intended for rough-in on new construction and remodel work where the stud cavity is accessible. For cutting into finished drywall, the RACO 517 TIGER GRIP is the old-work version of the same idea: a gangable steel switch box built for old work, so it secures to the existing wallboard instead of to a stud. Use the 517 for retrofit cut-ins and the LXWOWC-25 where you can fasten to framing.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Thomas & Betts LXWOWC-25 gangable switch box from another manufacturer?
The RACO 518S is the nearest match in form and depth. It is a gangable switch box 2-1/2 inches deep, the same depth as the LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box, so it drops into the same stud cavity and gangs side by side the same way. The difference is the cable entry: the 518S uses STAB-IT series connectors built into the box, while the LXWOWC-25 is a plain pre-galvanized steel gangable box. If the rough-in calls for non-metallic cable landed in an integral connector, the 518S changes the install; if you are using separate connectors or conduit, the LXWOWC-25 covers it.
6) The LXWOWC-25 is 12.5 cubic inches. What 1-gang box gives me more fill capacity?
The LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box provides 12.5 cubic inches of interior volume in a 2 x 3 x 2-1/2 inch body. If your box fill calculation needs more room for a device plus multiple cables, the Allied Moulded P-181 FlexBox is a 1-gang switch/receptacle box rated at 18 cubic inches. It is a thermoplastic residential box rather than pre-galvanized steel, and it is not gangable the way the LXWOWC-25 is, so it suits single-device locations rather than multi-gang assemblies.
7) Is pre-galvanized steel okay for a damp location, or do I need something else?
Pre-galvanized steel resists corrosion for general residential and commercial interior rough-in, which is what the Adjust-A-Box line is built for. It is not a weatherproof or wet-location enclosure. For corrosive or damp environments a non-metallic box is the usual call, such as the Allied Moulded 2302-NKV fiberglass reinforced box or the Cantex EZ20SB non-metallic box.
8) Can I mount a steel gangable box to a metal stud?
Steel gangable boxes like the LXWOWC-25 mount to wood or metal framing with the appropriate bracket or screws for the stud type; the box itself is pre-galvanized steel with no stud-specific clip. If you are framing entirely in steel stud and want a purpose-built box, the Cantex EZ20SB EZ Box is a 1-gang non-metallic box made specifically for steel stud.
9) Do I need to bond a metal switch box, and does a steel box give me an equipment ground?
Metal boxes have to be bonded. The LXWOWC-25 is pre-galvanized steel, so the box becomes part of the equipment grounding path and needs the circuit equipment ground connected to it, typically with a green grounding screw in the tapped hole at the back. Plastic boxes such as the Allied Moulded P-181 FlexBox do not require this, which is one reason some crews standardize on non-metallic.
10) Will a standard toggle switch or duplex receptacle plate fit this box?
Yes. At 2 x 3 inches across the face, the LXWOWC-25 matches the standard single-gang device opening, so ordinary toggle, decorator or duplex receptacle plates mount to it. Gang two boxes together and you need a 2-gang plate instead.
11) Can I use the Cantex EZ20SB instead of the LXWOWC-25 for metal stud framing?
They are built for different fastening methods. The Cantex EZ20SB EZ Box is a 1-gang non-metallic box made specifically for steel stud framing. The LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box is a pre-galvanized steel 1-gang gangable box, so it can be joined to adjacent boxes to build 2-gang or larger device assemblies on site, which the single non-metallic EZ20SB does not do. For a metal-stud partition with single-device locations, the EZ20SB is the purpose-built choice; for multi-gang runs or where a metallic box is specified for bonding, stay with the LXWOWC-25.
12) Is the Allied Moulded 2302-NKV a substitute for two ganged LXWOWC-25 boxes?
Not a direct one. The Allied Moulded 2302-NKV is a fiberglass reinforced 2-gang switch box - a single one-piece enclosure for two devices. Ganging two LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box units gives you a two-device opening as well, but the assembly is pre-galvanized steel and the gang count can be changed on site to three or more. Choose the 2302-NKV when a non-metallic one-piece 2-gang body is wanted and the device count is fixed; choose the LXWOWC-25 when the gang count is decided at rough-in or a metallic box is specified.
13) For a property with mixed new rough-in and cut-in work, can I standardize on one gangable switch box?
You can standardize the gang style but not a single part. The LXWOWC-25 Steel City Adjust-A-Box handles the new rough-in side as a pre-galvanized steel 1-gang gangable box, 2 x 3 x 2-1/2 inches at 12.5 cubic inches. For the cut-in locations, the RACO 517 TIGER GRIP is a gangable steel switch box made for old work. Both are gangable steel boxes, so device spacing and multi-gang plate coverage stay consistent across the property while the mounting method matches the condition of each wall.
