Abstract
A gangable electrical box adaptable for securing to at least one adjacent electrical box having an adjacent male coupling member and an adjacent female coupling member. The electrical box includes a side wall and a rear panel coupled to the side wall that defines an interior of the electrical box therewith. A male coupling member is disposed on the side wall and a female coupling member is disposed on the side wall opposite the male coupling member and in the interior of the electrical box. The female and male coupling members are securingly engagable to the adjacent male coupling member and the adjacent female coupling member, respectively, of the adjacent electrical box for permitting lateral coupling of two or more electrical boxes.
