They want a disconnect at the well site for the single phase well pump. They are usually about 8 amps, so I plan to use a 20 or 30 amp 2 pole toggle switch, but I'm running #10 wiring out there for VD, and using 1" PVC because I like to make life easy for myself. Maybe 3/4" if I'm feeling ambitious and I can't find a 2 gang box with 1" KOs.
 
I just don't like the pull out disconnect. :oops:
Ok, but not all are pull outs.
Square D QO200TR Is an enclosed molded cased switch. It will hold up much better than the aluminum WP box.

If you insist on a WP box, use a single gang deep which are available with 1/2, 3/4 and 1" hubs. Easily fit #10's and 2 pole switch.

Thanks I’ll check that one out. We don’t have any SqD dealers up here, so I don’t anything about their products. All Eaton here.
 
I think you can get a two gang weatherproof switch cover for a bell box...just install one switch.
Look again. That's exactly what that Hubbell cover will do. In the 51 possible configurations, if you scroll all the way over to the right there is a single Decora right in the center of the 2 gang box. It will also do the same thing with a single toggle.

Ah. Found it. Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for. 👍

We use those covers over single gang boxes for plug in transformers. Usually for water filtration/softener systems.
You can't really use a singe device in the center of a 2 gang box since there is nothing to mount the device to on the box. You can do as Don suggested and mount the switch on 1 side and put a blank filler on the other side.
 
With a single gang raised cover for a 4 sq box, you mount the device to the cover first. I wonder if that is how that box works.
The In-use type covers have a plastic inset that mounts to the device. They are not designed to support the device. The device is supposed to be secured to the box.
