RACO 531 Switch Box for Single Gang
The RACO 531 is a one gang switch box with a 12.5 cu in capacity designed for residential or light commercial wiring. Its galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in typical indoor environments. The unit is UL Listed and ships new for immediate installation.
Galvanized Steel Build with KO Clamps
The box features steel walls finished in gray galvanized zinc for durability. Mounting uses a TS bracket while KO clamps and NMSC clamps secure cables without extra hardware. A single 1/2 inch back knockout provides a clean entry point; no side knockouts are present.
Replaces Smaller or Non Listed Boxes
This box upgrades installations that need more cubic inches for conductor fill or a UL Listed enclosure. The jump is worthwhile when local code requires the listed capacity or when the TS bracket matches existing stud spacing. It does not suit multi gang layouts or applications needing side cable entry.

Questions about this item
What does the 12.5 cu in capacity limit in a 1-gang switch box?
The 12.5 cu in volume caps the number and size of conductors, clamps and devices allowed by code in this single-gang box.
What bracket and knockout pattern does the TS bracket with KO clamps require for mounting?
The TS bracket mounts to studs; one 1/2 in. back knockout and KO clamps accept NM cable without extra connectors.
How is the galvanized steel box installed, and what step is often missed with KO clamps?
Secure the TS bracket to framing, pull cables through knockouts, then fully seat each cable in the KO clamps so the internal tabs lock.
