Review: Deep Outlet Box - Worked great for me! I used this to replace an old basic outlet with a new one that has a USB A and C port which made the outlet much deeper so I needed a deeper box to accommodate. This one is about 3.5 inches deep with plenty of knockouts and places to install screws to hold down your wires or ground to the metal box itself. I wish it came with a screw for that but not a big deal. Would buy again! Review: UL Certified - These boxes are UL Certified and they have a spot for a grounding screw. As with many electrical boxes, you have to buy the grounded screw separately. The stamp is on the inside back plate. ## Features - With proper fitting can be used for nmsc, armored, metal clad, flex cable - Switch boxes are used to house wiring devices such as switches or receptacles - 18.0Cu. In. Capacity - Acceptable for use in two hour fire rated wall - The product is ul listed ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BP7WFA | | Best Sellers Rank | #100,700 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #232 in Electrical Boxes | | Brand | RACO | | Brand Name | RACO | | Capacity | 18 Cubic Inches | | Color | product specific | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 162 Reviews | | Finish Type | Powder Coated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050169005903 | | Included Components | electrical box | | Installation Type | Screw-In | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 3.5"D x 3"W x 3"H | | Item Type Name | gang-able electrical box | | Manufacturer | Hubbell | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 8590 | | Part Number | 8590 | | Product Dimensions | 3.5"D x 3"W x 3"H | | Specification Met | Ul Listed | | Style | Industrial | | UPC | 050169005903 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** RACO - **Color:** product specific - **Style:** Industrial - **Product Dimensions:** 3.5"D x 3"W x 3"H ## Images ![RACO 8590 3-1/2-Inch Deep Switch Electrical Box, Gangable with Plaster Ears and (8) 1/2-Inch Knockouts, 3-Inch x 2-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ztsXnJl2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deep Outlet Box *by A***I on May 21, 2024* Worked great for me!
