My client is specifying Crouse-Hinds type DS-185 switch covers (FS Box type Covers) for switch outlet boxes cast in concrete walls. I had intended to use 1gang and 2gang masonry boxes in the walls, but the specifed covers will not work with the masonry boxes. I have never seen or mounted a mallable FS box in concrete. Is it acceptable?

As long as they are listed for the location, then yes.

Well, I?ve never seen one! I?ve done plenty of what you?re thinking of doing, but it wasn?t with your required switch cover.

Here is a distributor?s web page that show a lot of different types of boxes, note that at the bottom left Cooper Crouse Hinds is available, hope this helps!
