floor box opinions

[SceneryDriver]

Anybody out there with strong (or any) opinions on Raco floor boxes? Specifically, this one:

I am in need of a floor box where the back box is rated for a damp location. The cast iron box should do nicely. The documentation, such as it is, seems to indicate 1/2" and possibly 3/4" threaded hubs cast into the sides of the box. Is that true? I don't have enough depth to come in the bottom and I'd like to connect with fittings suitable for that damp location I mentioned earlier.

Thanks for any info or opinions.

According to the Hubbell catalog that box has two 1/2" hubs in the bottom. For a cast box with a brass cover plate $60 is pretty cheap.

That box must be installed right on the money in terms of height since the cover does not overlap. I install about 30 in a residence and it was a time consumer. Can you use a pvc box with a plate that overlaps?

Also go to Lew electric for metallic boxes. I believe I paid $100 a piece for the box and $30+ for the brass plate but that was for an adjustable box. http://www.lewelectric.com/

The box below can be installed high and cut with a string or saw and there is a ring that you insert to hold the receptacle and plate
