Cooper Crouse-Hinds Speed-Mount(TM) Nonmetallic Switchboxes



Cooper Crouse-Hinds is pleased to announce another labor saving addition to our nonmetallic box line - Speed-Mount(TM) switchboxes! With Speed-Mount switchboxes the device or switch is quickly and easily installed by simply pressing the device mounting screw into the device hole in the box and turning the screw to lock it in place. The spring steel clip locks the screw securely in place. To remove the device, simply unscrew the screw in the traditional manner.

Nonmetallic Speed-Mount Switchboxes are for use with wood or metal studs to meet any construction preference. The quick entry feature offers labor savings - no tools are required to install the cable into the box and there is no need to break out knockouts. You simply push the nonmetallic cable into the box. The unique configuration of this quick entry feature on single gang boxes provides a self-feeding feature that eliminates the need to reach inside the box to pull the wire out.

The two, three & four gang boxes feature a labor saving integral clamping feature. The quick entry also serves as a clamp, eliminating the need to mechanically secure the cable inside the box. There are no separate clamps or screws to install or tighten. Each entry into the multiple gang boxes has the quick entry feature allowing the installer to simply push the cable into the box without the need for tools or removal of knock-outs, so the cable can be inserted where it is required.
