Wiremold V5748S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many wires can I legally put in a 13.5 cubic inch Wiremold shallow switch box?
The box gives you 13.5 cubic inches of fill volume. Under standard NEC box fill math, a 14 AWG conductor counts 2.00 cu in and a 12 AWG counts 2.25 cu in, and the device (switch or receptacle) itself counts as two conductors of the largest wire size in the box. So at 14 AWG, 13.5 cu in supports roughly six conductor allowances total, which in practice is one device plus a couple of cable runs with grounds. At 12 AWG you lose a run. Do the fill count on your actual circuit before you commit.
2) Will a Wiremold 5748 surface box fit where I don't have depth behind the wall?
That is exactly what it is for. The 5748 is a surface-mount steel box, so nothing goes behind the wall surface at all, and its shallow build keeps the projection down where a standard depth box will not fit. It measures 4.625 inches long by 3.0 inches high. Good choice on concrete, block, brick, or plaster walls where cutting in a recessed box is not on the table.
3) Does the Wiremold 5748 box take a standard single-gang switch or receptacle?
Yes. The 5748 is built to house a single switch or receptacle device, and the 4.625 inch length covers the strap span of standard devices. Bring your own device and cover plate, since the box is the housing only.
4) What finishes does the Wiremold 5748 shallow box come in?
Two: white and ivory. The ivory version is ordered as V5748S; the white as 5748SWH or 5748-2WH-2. Match the finish to the raceway and device plates already on the wall, since a metal surface box is visible in the finished room.
5) Should I use a steel surface box or a plastic one for a commercial corridor?
Steel, for anything in a commercial or institutional space where the box can get hit. The 5748 is steel construction, which stands up to carts, ladders, and general abuse far better than a molded plastic surface box, and it bonds as part of the grounding path with a metal raceway system. Plastic makes more sense on residential work where impact is unlikely and a nonmetallic system is already in place.
6) Why are there two different lengths listed on the Wiremold 5748 box?
Two length values run through the line, 4.65 inches and 4.75 inches. The 4.65 inch build is the white 5748-2WH-2; the 4.75 inch builds are the white 5748SWH and the ivory V5748S. If you are tying into an existing run of raceway where the box has to line up with fittings already on the wall, order by the part number that matches what is up there rather than by finish alone.
7) Is the Wiremold 5748 box light enough to mount on drywall or plaster?
It weighs 0.45 lb empty, so the box itself puts almost no load on the surface. Fastened with appropriate anchors it sits fine on drywall or plaster. Keep in mind the finished weight includes the device, conductors, and plate, and that a surface box on hollow drywall wants toggle or self-drilling anchors rather than plain screws.
8) I'm standardizing surface boxes across a building. Is one Wiremold 5748 box enough for both switches and outlets?
Yes, it covers both. The 5748 is a single housing used for switch or receptacle work, so a property manager or MRO buyer can stock one box for either device rather than carrying two part numbers. Pick one finish, white or ivory, and hold it as the standard across the site.
