Eaton TP254 Switch Box - 18 in³ Capacity
Part Number: TP254
Quick Summary
The Eaton TP254 switch box protects conduits and terminations in industrial panels, delivering durable enclosure performance. Engineers often face mismatched knockouts, limited capacity, and non-compliant enclosures that slow installation and inflate costs. This unit aligns with NEC/CEC standards and UL certifications for steel switch boxes, ensuring compliance and long-term reliability. For project teams, the 18 in³ capacity, gangable design, and ears support fast, scalable installation across control panels and industrial enclosures, reducing rework and total cost of ownership. Designed for ordinary locations, it balances rugged protection with a compact footprint. Its compatibility with Crouse-Hinds steel switch boxes supports scalable panel builds.

TP254 offers flexible conduit and knockout options that adapt to common field wiring. This flexibility translates to faster panel routing and fewer field modifications, reducing project lead times. Ideal for control panels, machine enclosures, and junctions in manufacturing environments. Built from steel and engineered for ordinary locations, TP254 provides rugged protection without adding excessive weight. Weighing about 0.76 lb, it minimizes handling risk and simplifies logistics during site deployment. With 18 cubic inches of internal space and end knockouts of 3/4 inch, side knockouts of 3/4 inch, and a bottom knockout of 1/2 inch, the TP254 supports multiple conductors and wiring methods. The gangable design and ears enable easy stacking and secure mounting in compact spaces. Conduit (no clamps) reduces hardware count while NEC/CEC compliance and UL listings confirm reliable installation across standard panels. This enclosure is built to support future upgrades and provides durability in typical panel builds, helping to lower lifecycle costs for maintenance teams.

FAQs
TP254 provides two end knockouts of 3/4 inch, two side knockouts of 3/4 inch, and one bottom knockout of 1/2 inch, with conduit entries labeled Conduit (no clamps). This arrangement supports flexible wiring routes, reduces need for field adapters, and speeds installation in control panels and machine enclosures. Expect faster commissioning, fewer field modifications, and lower labor costs when deploying this box in typical factory settings.
TP254 is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards. It is listed for steel switch boxes, providing UL-based reliability for typical industrial environments. While not rated for hazardous locations, its compliance framework makes it a dependable choice for standard panels, machine enclosures, and control cabinets where non-hazardous operation is expected.
Yes. TP254 is intended for ordinary locations and is built from steel to withstand daily industrial use. Its 18 cubic inches of internal space accommodates multiple conductors while the box’s compact dimensions fit tight panels. The ears and gangable design enable secure mounting alongside other Crouse-Hinds steel boxes, supporting scalable installations in control rooms, automation cabinets, and machine housings.
TP254 supports scalable builds through its gangable design and mounting ears, enabling seamless alignment and stacking with adjacent enclosures. The knockout pattern (end, side, bottom) provides flexible wiring expansion without rework, while the standard steel construction ensures consistent dimensions and mounting compatibility across multiple boxes in the same enclosure family, reducing design time and installation complexity.
From a maintenance perspective, the steel TP254 enclosure offers durable protection in ordinary locations, lowering replacement frequency. Its 18 in³ capacity helps accommodate growth without early box upgrades, reducing future capex. The combination of quick wiring, simplified mounting, and reduced field modifications translates to lower installation labor, faster commissioning, and improved total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle.
