Hubbell Incorporated RACO 650 Electrical Box 11.5 cu in 1 Gang Galvanized Zinc

11.5 cu in Handy Box

The RACO 650 is a single-gang electrical box with an internal volume of 11.5 cubic inches. It is built for residential or light-commercial wiring where a compact handy-box profile is required. The galvanized zinc construction meets basic corrosion resistance needs for indoor and protected outdoor locations. Electricians and DIY installers use it for switches, receptacles or junction points in conduit systems.

Sustained load behaviour

The galvanized zinc body maintains structural integrity when multiple conductors are pulled through over long periods. Its rigid walls resist deformation during cable installation and when devices are fastened inside. The metal construction dissipates heat from connected devices without softening, unlike plastic alternatives that can warp under continuous thermal cycling. Grounding continuity is preserved through the metal enclosure itself.

Build quality and mounting implications

Galvanized zinc provides a durable surface that resists rust in damp environments such as basements or covered porches. Threaded hubs or knockouts accept standard conduit fittings for secure pipe connections. The single-gang format fits standard cover plates and device yokes without adapters. Mounting ears allow direct attachment to studs or surface-mounted hardware for a flush finish.
