Eaton TP873 Steel Gang Box - Five-Gang NEC/CEC
Part Number: TP873
Quick Summary
Eaton TP873 steel gang box is a five-gang enclosure designed to organize and protect wiring in control panels. When space is limited and field terminations risk miswiring, this rugged steel box offers reliable organization and quick access. It is aligned with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, supporting safe, code-compliant installations. Built for durability, the TP873 accommodates multiple conductors and devices while keeping terminations tidy. For panel builders and industrial integrators, its 132 cubic inch capacity and standardized knockout patterns deliver predictable layouts and faster assembly, reducing commissioning time and later rework. This translates to lower field labor costs and improved project timelines.

The TP873 supports end knockouts of 3/4 in and 1 in, side knockouts of 3/4 in and 1 in (three and two respectively), and bottom knockouts of 1/2 in and 3/4 in (six and four respectively). This combination provides flexible conduit entries suitable for most standard automation panels, streamlining raceway routing and terminations while reducing the need for additional fittings.
This five-gang gang box measures 12.25 inches in length, 4.25 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in depth, with a product weight of 2.63 pounds. The compact yet roomy footprint supports dense wiring layouts in control cabinets, while its modest weight facilitates safer, easier transport and mounting during field installation.
Yes. The TP873 is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and adheres to NEC/CEC standards, making it a code-compliant choice for non-hazardous plant environments. It is well-suited for panel builders needing reliable, standards-based grounding and enclosure performance in automation and electrical infrastructure projects.
The 132 cubic inch capacity is ideal for multi-device terminations within control panels, including multiple relays, terminal blocks, and conduit wiring. This capacity supports organized wiring harnessing, reduces the need for additional enclosures, and helps maintain clean, serviceable terminations in automation and machine control applications.
By combining five-gang capability with flexible knockouts and robust steel construction, the TP873 accelerates panel assembly and minimizes field rework. Its standardized dimensions and NEC/CEC compliance simplify procurement, commissioning, and audits, delivering lower labor costs, shorter project timelines, and higher first-pass correctness for industrial automation projects.
