Gang box
Gangbox (also gang box) is a colloquial term utilized in the construction industry, referring to a toolbox or workbox that can be accessed by multiple workers. Gangbox is also a term in the electrical industry used to indicate a box, usually metal, which houses installed electrical componentry.〔(Infomedia Gallery Construction Glossary )〕 A 1-gang box hosts a single component such as a switch or receptacle, a 2-gang box hosts two components side-by-side, and so on. There are virtually an unlimited amount of gangs that can be installed as one box, but 5 or more gangs are rare and may be difficult to find.
== Origin ==
The word gangbox may have been derived for several reasons. Firstly, "gang" can be used to refer to the group of tools utilized for a particular project, thus making the receptacle in which they are stored the "gang box". Secondly, a gang can refer to a group of workmen or tradesmen, hence the name for where their materials or tools are kept is the gang's box.〔
When regard to the electrical term, the name may have developed from electrical boxes that could be grouped or "ganged" together to form a larger unit.
