What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these electrical boxes for straightforward installation, sturdy PVC construction, and excellent value. Reviewers consistently highlight pre-marked drywall guides, angled nails, and built-in wire clamps that simplify setup. The depth accommodates multiple cables, GFCIs, and dimmers without crowding. Many contrast the grey PVC favorably against older alternatives, noting durability and resistance to cracking. Customers describe them as affordable, reliable, and meeting expectations perfectly. A few mention cheap nails or edge cases with specific wall types, but these rare concerns barely register against overwhelming satisfaction.

Gasline cover

A multi use product, not just a electrical box.

Would Recommend

I do not use these as an electrical outlet but as a container in my shop. I remove the nails and drill two holes in the top, of one side, hole spacing is equal to the distance between 3 holes on the peg board in my shop. Insert 2 hooked pegs and hang it on the wall. Great for pencils, cable ties, screwdrivers, or anything else you use a lot that is taller than the sides of the box.

Make sure yours has 2 nails

23 cu inch box. I used it with a 20 Amp GFCI outlet. Only issue was I didn't notice that the one I chose from the big box had only 1 nail. The other nail had fallen out. Make sure the box or boxes you buy have two nails.

Very Nice Grey plastic box

Would Recommend

This is the very best gray single gang nail on box that I have used. I must admit that I do like the Blue single gang boxes too, but for a less flashy look, the grey fits the bill.

Good quality long nails. To deep for 2X3 stud walls in mobile homes.
