Ratings & Reviews for CANTEX 1 -Gang Plastic Old work Switch/Outlet Electrical Box
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this shallow electrical box for solving tight-space installation challenges in mobile homes, RVs, and older construction where standard boxes won't fit. The shallow depth, easy installation, and reliable performance consistently earn strong satisfaction. Most find it cost-effective and appreciate the surface-mount design with flanged holes. The compact form enables retrofits behind drawers and on concrete foundations where alternatives fail. A few note limitations with GFI receptacles or heavier fixtures, and some mention the plastic feels slightly flimsy, but these concerns are rare and context-specific. Overall, reviewers consider it an excellent, practical solution for constrained installations.

Would RecommendVery shallow and strong. 12-guage wire fit with single outlet
Worked well for what it was needed for.
was exactly what my contactors needed....they did not have to go to another store to get all items needed for my project. Contractor was happy with quality.
Better than the metal electrical boxes
I prefer these PVC electrical boxes over the metal ones because they do not conduct electricity and you are less likely to have a short if some wires come lose and touch the box. They are also cheaper and lighter. There is no downside to them. Also, Lowes had the best price.
