RACO
RACO® is a leading manufacturer of steel electrical boxes, covers and commercial accessories. As one of the oldest brands in the electrical industry, our name is synonymous with quality and innovation. One of our innovative features on steel boxes is the TKO Knockout. The TKO Knockout provides greater flexibility by combining 1/2" and 3/4" knockouts. This feature is UL listed and allows for bonding without the use of bonding jumpers. RACO®Steel Boxes are used for branch circuit wiring to accommodate wiring devices such as switches and receptacles. Most boxes can also be used as fixture supports. Our receptacle boxes are used to support lighting fixture canopies or fans. Junction boxes feature an oversized #10-32 grounding hole and combination screw head. RACO®Commercial Accessories are the best answer when you need to couple, connect, fasten or ground conduit or cable. Choose from specification grade forged iron, steel, lightweight aluminum or die cast zinc materials. Many Commercial Accessories are listed with UL as rain tight, concrete tight or liquid tight. RACO®Commercial Accessories are designed to save time on the job. Lock nuts will not slip or rotate. Premium set screws provide reliable, continuous grounding. Insulated throats protect insulation during wire pulling. In 1921, Walter Roche and Ernest Appleton founded Roche Appleton Manufacturing Company near Chicago, Illinois, and nine years later they moved the company to South Bend, where it remains today! In 1951, the plant was incorporated as Union. In 1972, the official name of RACO® was adopted. Hubbell Corporation (Delaware) acquired the company in 1981. Within sixteen years, RACO® became the leading brand of Hubbell Electrical Products. In 2012, TayMac became part of Hubbell Electrical Products. In 2015, ACME was acquired by Hubbell Corporation (Delaware), and we also changed our name to Hubbell Commercial Buildings as part of the Hubbell Commercial & Industrial Group. As we approach 100 years, RACO® continues to focus on innovation, quality, and service.
