can't find my old thread

13 years ago

Hi,

I posted a question on here several months ago about upgrading my old electrical outlets (25 yr old Romex) to new ones. My problem is finding work boxes that will fit 1 and 3/4" walls. Someone posted a pic back then of a very wide workbox that loked like it would fit.

I had to put the project on hold for a while and now I am ready to do the work but can't find that old thread with the info.

I searched a lot here and in the electrical formus and can't find the old post.

Does anyone know what kind of workbox I am talking about? It's extra wide so that the wires fit to the side of the receptacle instead of behind it.

Thanks!

Sharon
