Evening All,



Take a look at the Leviton 1755, Combination Switch that can handle three items in one box.

Does anyone know of one that can handle 4 items?



I've seen plently of HA stuff that can handle multiple items, but for this application I need traditional wiring.



Thanks,



Steve



Probably your only option Steve is to change to a two gang box.

Nope. Trouble is the wiring wouldn't all fit in a normal box. Not to mention potential issues of heat from four loads.

While it doesn't come without some "work", replacing a single gang box with a double really isn't all that hard to do. The biggest challenge being if the wiring's old, but even then it's not that difficult. A sawzall type reciprocating saw helps get the old box disconnected from the adjacent stud. Then just use a remodel box, the blue plastic ones with the 'ears' that grab the back of the wall to secure it.
