Hubbell / Raco

What RACO is known for

RACO is a historic brand within Hubbell that specializes in metal electrical boxes, covers and a broad range of commercial fittings and connectors. The brand is widely recognized in commercial construction and facility maintenance circles for durable specification-grade steel boxes and a deep line of conduit and cable fittings engineered for EMT, flexible conduit, MC/AC, NM sheathed cable and liquidtight applications.

Main product families and technologies

RACO’s core product groups include:

• Steel outlet and device boxes and covers
• EMT compression and raintight connectors and couplings
• Liquidtight (flex) connectors and elbows (45°/90°)
• Straight and squeeze connectors for flexible conduit
• NM and MC cable connectors and clamps
• Locknuts, bushings, knockout seals and accessories

Materials include malleable iron, steel, die-cast zinc and aluminum. Many fittings include insulated throats, premium set screws for grounding continuity and weather-tight designs where required.

Common applications

RACO products are specified across commercial construction, industrial plants, institutional buildings, residential wiring, OEM enclosures and maintenance operations. Typical uses include device and junction boxes, fixture supports, EMT termination in wet locations, conduit coupling, and sealed entries for liquidtight flexible conduit.

How procurement teams identify the right RACO model

Key procurement fields: full RACO catalog number, trade size (1/2", 3/4", 1" etc.), connector style (compression, clamp, squeeze), conduit or cable type (EMT, MC/AC, NM, liquidtight), end configuration (straight, 45°, 90°) and ratings (raintight, liquidtight, concrete-tight). Verify physical dimensions, threading and packaging quantities before ordering.

How Safsale helps buyers confirm models and source replacements

• Structured listings and filters to narrow by family, size and material.
• High-resolution images to verify physical details like throat insulation and set-screw style.
• Manufacturer PDFs and catalog pages attached to listings for dimensional and packaging verification.
• Reviews and Q&A that surface field-fit and interchange notes from contractors and maintenance professionals.
• Cross-reference tools to match legacy markings to current RACO catalog numbers.

Sourcing and replacement tips

• Use the full RACO catalog number on purchase orders.
• Match trade size and conduit/cable type exactly; these are not interchangeable across product families.
• Confirm insulation, raintight/liquidtight rating and set-screw vs. compression style.
• Check unit, carton and ship quantities to align purchasing and pricing.
• For legacy replacements, compare photos and catalog dimensions rather than relying on a partial description.

Why buyers specify RACO

Buyers choose RACO for its long market presence, product breadth and durable construction that meet the needs of commercial and industrial installations. Design features such as insulated throats and raintight connectors reduce installation time and increase long-term reliability.
