Abb 259 Outlet Box 5 Inch Square 1.25 Inch Depth

Product Description

The ABB 259 is a 5-inch square outlet box with a 1.25-inch depth, designed for electrical rough-in and junction applications in commercial and residential construction. This steel outlet box provides a secure enclosure for wiring connections, device mounting, or conduit terminations. Licensed electricians install this type of box during rough-in phases to establish code-compliant junction and device points in wall, ceiling, and floor assemblies. Its square footprint accommodates a range of cover plates and device mud rings for finished installations.

The ABB 259 is suited for standard electrical rough-in work in commercial and residential buildings. It supports conduit-fed wiring systems and is typically installed in wall studs, ceiling joists, or poured concrete assemblies depending on the application. The box is appropriate for use where a 5-inch square format is specified by the plans or required by device configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage before working in or near the box. Secure the box to framing or structural members using appropriate fasteners before pulling conductors. Do not overtighten conduit fittings or connectors to the point of deforming the box knockout edges.
