Single, Dual and Triple Gang Boxes
The metal plate surrounding the switch assembly is a heat sink. The maximum load rating (500W) is provided when installed in a single gang box with the full heat sink. Multiple 45607 Dimmer Switches may be installed in dual or triple gang boxes and, if necessary, one or both sides of the heat sink may be removed by bending it at the score lines. There is a corresponding reduction in the switch’s load rating when ganged. DO NOT exceed the following loads:
