Jim,
I took a few quick measurements of workboxes, isolation transformers, etc.
in the lab, as well as the knockout openings in the cast housings of some of
our flow transmitters.
7/8" and 1 1/8" seem to be the most common for the smaller circuits, with 2
3/8" and 2 3/4"  used for the heavier stuff. Check a Hubbell catalog for
required sizes for cable grips, etc.

        I have received very little response to this one, so I thought I'd
post
        it again.

        Aren't there any permanently connected ITE equipment mfr's on this
        forum?!  What do you provide in the way of knockouts or ...???

        Thanks,
