Electrical Receptacle Box - Products
An electrical receptacle box houses and protects an outlet or switch and its wiring, providing the code-required enclosure and mounting point. Moonshine Bath stocks receptacle boxes in new-work and old-work (remodel) styles, in single and multi-gang sizes for walls and ceilings.
Choosing the right box depth and gang count keeps wiring safe and roomy. Every electrical receptacle box ships free across the USA, Canada and Mexico, leaves the warehouse within 24 hours on weekday orders before 2 PM EST, and is backed by our price match plus 10 percent beat guarantee.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between new-work and old-work boxes?
New-work boxes nail or screw to a stud before drywall goes up. Old-work (remodel) boxes clamp directly to existing drywall, so you can add a box to a finished wall without opening it up.
What does gang mean on an electrical box?
Gang refers to how many devices the box holds. A single-gang box fits one outlet or switch, a two-gang box fits two side by side, and so on. Match the gang count to the number of devices.
How do I know what size box I need?
Box volume must suit the number of wires and devices inside, per code box-fill rules. Deeper boxes give more room. When in doubt, choose a larger box and follow local code or consult an electrician.
