Running wiring on the surface of a finished wall, this switch box metal is a surface-mount metal switch/outlet box that mounts on the raceway to house a single switch or receptacle. Part of a surface raceway system, it lets an electrician add outlets, switches, lights, and wiring runs to a finished room without opening the wall, mounting to the surface and concealing the wire in a clean metal channel and boxes. It joins with matching raceway channel, boxes, and fittings into a complete surface wiring path, and installs with screws over drywall, masonry, or paneling. It is a component of the surface raceway system for exposed, protected wiring.
