Carlon 2-Gang Dual Voltage Electrical Box

The Carlon 2-Gang Dual Voltage Box combines high-voltage and low-voltage wiring in one enclosure, eliminating the alignment headaches of separate boxes. SC200DVR is smart alternative where you would normally use separate high and Low-Voltage boxes. Designed to fit a standard 2-Gang face plate, this box-bracket combines an electrical box and Low-Voltage bracket into a single unit for fast, easy installation. At 20.5 cubic inches of volume, this PVC box handles power outlets alongside data, cable, or phone connections under a single faceplate.

Time-Saving Dual-Voltage Design

Dual-voltage capability: Line voltage (power) and low-voltage (data/telecom) in one enclosure changes the installation game. Contractors waste time aligning separate boxes perfectly to get a clean faceplate look. This box solves that problem. No alignment tools are required and easy nail-on mounting provides precise placement and a professional finished appearance.

The practical advantage shows up immediately on home theater installations, computer networking runs, or anywhere power and data live side by side. Eliminates time-consuming alignment of separate boxes and delivers Single-gang faceplate appearance for a professional finish. No more eyeballing separate boxes to get them level. No more callbacks because the faceplate sits crooked.

Angled nails for easy mounting to wood studs speed up the rough-in process. The angled design lets crews drive nails without fighting awkward hammer angles in tight stud bays.

Smart Backless Design and Fire-Rated Specs

The low-voltage side runs backless — a critical design choice. Backless design for low-voltage side: Accommodates large or deep low-voltage devices means bulky connectors, transformer plugs, and modern networking gear fit without cramming. Compatible with coaxial, CAT-5, CAT-6, and telephone cabling, the box handles today’s structured cabling demands.

3/4-inch Resi-Rings: For attaching Resi-Gard low-voltage raceway provide clean conduit connections when the job calls for surface-mount cable management. These rings snap into place for professional raceway transitions.

Specification	Value
Dimensions	3.69” L × 4.04” W × 3.67” D
Volume	20.5 cubic inches
Material	PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
Gangs	2
Color	Blue
Certifications	UL Listed (E11461)
Fire Rating	Classified for two-hour fire-resistive wall assemblies

The fire rating matters. Classified for two-hour fire-resistive wall assemblies meets code requirements for fire-rated walls — critical in multi-family construction or commercial work where fire separation drives the spec.

The Bottom Line

This box solves a real problem. Instead of cutting the back off a standard electrical box and hoping the inspector doesn’t notice, or spending time aligning separate boxes perfectly, contractors get a code-compliant solution designed for the job. Non-metallic/Non-conductive: Rust and corrosion resistant PVC construction handles Montana’s temperature swings without the corrosion issues metal boxes face.

The ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY covers manufacturing defects, though Carlon explicitly excludes damage from improper wiring or misuse. Fair enough — wire it right.

For Montana’s growing home theater market, remote work setups, and anywhere modern living puts power and data side by side, this dual-voltage box delivers. The time saved on alignment alone justifies the minimal premium over separate boxes. Add the professional appearance and reduced callback risk, and this becomes standard equipment for quality electrical work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this box handle standard Romex wiring on the high-voltage side? A: Yes. The enclosed electrical compartment accepts standard non-metallic sheathed cable. The 20.5 cubic inch volume provides adequate space for typical residential wiring configurations.

Q: What’s the maximum cable size for the low-voltage side? A: The backless design accommodates CAT-5, CAT-6, coaxial, and telephone cables. The 3/4-inch Resi-Rings work with standard low-voltage raceways when conduit protection is required.

Q: Does the two-hour fire rating apply to both compartments? A: The UL listing (E11461) and two-hour fire-resistive classification apply to the complete assembly when properly installed according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: Will a standard 2-gang Decora faceplate fit this box? A: Yes. The box works with standard 2-gang faceplates including toggle, duplex, and Decora styles. The design specifically targets single faceplate coverage for both voltage types.
