Distribution boxes installed back to back

Home / Distribution boxes installed back to back

Back-to-back electrical boxes are designed to accommodate two devices—typically a switch and a receptacle—on opposite sides of a wall. This configuration is particularly useful in situations where space is limited or where aesthetic considerations dictate a clean, uncluttered look. We'll cover everything from choosing the right boxes to troubleshooting common problems. We have an existing WP 1052 1 HR rated wall (3 5/8" metal stud w/ 1 layer of gyp on one side and 2 layers of gyp on the other side) between classroom spaces. Our fiberglass outlet boxes are now UL-certified for back-to-back installation in a minimal 5½" deep wall stud cavity that has a 2HR rating, without the need for a putty pad. A well-chosen and properly installed distribution box can prevent electrical hazards, reduce downtime, and ensure your electrical system operates smoothly for years to come.
