ABSTRACT:
A gangable electrical box includes a main body and a pair of removable sidewalls. The main body has opposite side edges, each side edges having a pair of flanges extending from a midpoint on a rear panel and along the end panels. The sidewalls include flanges along each transverse edge and a pair of flanges on the longitudinal edge. The flanges on the sidewall are formed to complement the flanges on the main body to overlap with each other in a coupling relation. The main body and sidewalls are formed from a folded blank. The flanges of the main body are arranged so that a plurality of identical main bodies can be ganged with the flanges of a first main body telescoping with the flanges of a second main body.
