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.
