Middle Atlantic STL Extra Deep DEV BOX 2G - 5744-2WH

Middle Atlantic 5744-2WH Extra Deep 2-Gang Steel Device Box

Overview

The Middle Atlantic 5744-2WH is an extra-deep 2-gang steel device box designed for raceway and cord cover systems where standard-depth boxes won't accommodate the wiring volume or device body depth you're working with. At 2.88 in (7.3 cm) deep, the 5744-2WH gives you the clearance needed to land wiring, seat receptacle bodies, and close the cover without forcing conductors into a compressed bundle — a common problem with shallow switch boxes in commercial infrastructure runs. The white finish matches standard commercial trim. TAA-compliant, making it a viable choice for federal and government facility projects subject to procurement requirements.

Compatibility

Designed for use within the Middle Atlantic 5744 series — specifically the 500 and 700 series switch and receptacle box fitting line. Pair with compatible 2-gang device plates, switch, or receptacle inserts from the 5744 family. Verify fitting compatibility against your specific raceway profile before ordering; the 5744 series spans multiple raceway widths and the box must match the raceway channel width at the mounting point. This box is not rated for Canadian installations (not Canadian Certified).

Installation Notes

The 2.88 in depth is the critical spec to verify against your wall cavity or raceway channel depth before installation. If your raceway back-box space is shallower than 2.88 in, this box will not seat flush — check the raceway's published box-depth spec first. Intended for structured wiring raceway applications; not designed as a standalone wall box outside of the 5744 series system context. Confirm device plate compatibility with your selected switch or receptacle gang count before ordering inserts separately.
