Typical 110V, 15amp house/workshop, except...
I need to fit two three-way switches into a 2"x4" box, but I can't find
one anywhere. All I've seen is a "combo" switch that consists of one
3-way switch in tandem with a regular switch.
I'm surprised it's not a common item, but I'm always doing something
unusual, I guess. Any ideas, other than going to a 4"x4" box?
Thanks.

Did Google find a way to get all those wires in a single gang box?

Did Google mention that installing 2 three way switches in a standard or deep wall case exceeds the NEC recomendations for maximum number of conductors?

Yes, X10. Leviton makes several controllers that fit in a single- gang box.
