The Story

Grady Box was designed by an electrician for electricians...

an electrician who was tired of wasting time.

Time after time he fought with cumbersome, conventional boxes and plaster rings in metal stud commercial construction. The poor design put the sharp edged AC/MC clamps right in the center of the box. This design flaw made it difficult to push devices back into the too-shallow box, and it often caused extra work or shorts.

With the conventional plaster ring system, he also struggled to get at the wires once the device was installed—especially if there were lots of splices. Often, wires inside the box were nicked or cut by drywall routing around the inside of the plaster ring opening. There were always objectionable bumps in the finish drywall work too.

When aluminum jacketed AC or MC was used, the cable clamp would loosen before the work in the box was even completed. A slight sideways pull was enough to loosen the cable. The antiquated clamp design didn’t work as well on aluminum as it did on steel, and this could cause ground integrity problems.

He also was tired of breaking off rear protruding clamp screws and ground screws when working up against concrete or block walls. This often loosened the clamps as well, and wasted more time.

After decades years of the same old parts and same old problems, it was time for change. Grady Box is the solution! And it is patented (USPTO #6,979,779).
