Hubbell RACO 160 Octagon Box
This galvanized steel electrical box provides a 15.5 cubic inch capacity with an octagon shape and two gangs for wiring devices. It includes a J-type mounting bracket for secure attachment to studs or joists. The unit is UL Listed for safety compliance in residential and commercial installations.
Sustained load behavior
The steel construction resists deformation when multiple cables are pulled through the knockouts during extended installation work. KO clamps and NMSC clamps hold conductors firmly without loosening from vibration or thermal cycling over time. Galvanized finish prevents corrosion that could compromise grounding integrity in damp locations.
Installation notes
Mount the J-bracket to framing before pulling wires through the single 1/2 inch back knockout and two 1/2 inch side knockouts. Ensure clamps are tightened on each cable to meet code requirements for strain relief. The nominal 1-1/2 inch depth may limit space for large connectors or multiple wire nuts inside the box.

Questions about this item
Does the galvanized steel box run hot or draw power when circuits are live all day?
The RACO 160 is a passive steel enclosure with no electronics, so it generates no heat and consumes no power regardless of how long the circuits remain energised.
What mounting surface or bracket must already be in place for the J-bracket on this box to attach securely?
The box includes a J-type bracket designed to fasten directly to wood or metal studs; you need an open stud bay and appropriate screws or nails for the bracket flanges.
Will the 1/2-inch knockouts on this octagon box line up with the conduit and cable clamps I already use?
The box provides one 1/2-inch back knockout and two 1/2-inch side knockouts, all compatible with standard KO clamps and NMSC clamps for common 1/2-inch conduit and non-metallic sheathed cable.
