Ratings & Reviews for Hubbell RACO 1-Gang Galvanized Steel New Work/Old Work Switch/Outlet Electrical Box
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this metal electrical box for its thick, rigid construction and durability in retrofit applications. Most highlight the sturdy, well-made design as superior to plastic alternatives, with many noting it performs reliably across single outlets, switches, low-voltage wiring, and GFCI installations. Reviewers particularly value its shallow profile and built-in tabs for fitting in confined spaces like between walls or under cabinets without compromising functionality. A few mention tight fits with certain devices like GFCI outlets or centrally located wire knockouts that complicate cable routing. Despite minor limitations, most customers consider it a dependable, high-quality choice for old-work installations.

Worked great for low voltage floor application
Would RecommendI used this box to put a ethernet jack in the floor of my office. The depth of my floor was deeper than what the low-voltage old work boxes support. I liked this metal box because it wasn’t too deep and I was able to use the ears to drive wood screws into the floor underneath the carpet.

Works well for old work
It works perfect for an old work retro box as not sure why I'd ever use it for new work. Enough depth for dimmers, etc
