Need Double gang metallic box for old work?

[24flinchin]

Im needing to install quad receptacles into a drywall wall in a commercial buildings office. Ill be using MC so I need to use a metal box as well. I know they make double gang boxes for old work out of plastic but what do I use for a metallic box in an existing wall? Thanks

Just use a bonding bushing.

These work great with 4s deep or shallow boxes. I always carry some with me.

I always gang these together



and secure them with these.

A question like that should be directed to your master, foreman or boss. If none of them know the answer, you could try the supply house. If they don't know, try google. If google doesn't know, ask here :roll:

Google may often take you here. If I recall that is how I first found this site was when I had a question on something and google took me here.
