Abb B118A 1-gang Switch Box with Nails

Product Description

The ABB B118A is a 1-gang switch box with nails, designed for new-work electrical rough-in in wood-framed residential and light commercial construction. This nonmetallic box mounts directly to wall studs using the integrated nails, making it a fast, no-separate-fastener solution for single-device electrical installations. It is sized to accept standard single-gang switches, receptacles, and decorator-style devices. Licensed electricians and rough-in crews install this box during the framing stage before drywall is applied. It is sold in cartons of 100 units, making it well suited for tract housing, multifamily, and volume electrical contractors.

This box is used in new-construction framing applications where nonmetallic switch boxes are required. Typical installations include wall switch locations for lighting circuits, outlet locations in wood-stud walls, and any single-device rough-in point in residential or light commercial projects. The carton quantity of 100 supports high-volume rough-in work and reduces jobsite restocking frequency.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician during the rough-in phase, prior to drywall. Ensure all power to the circuit is off and verified before making wiring connections. Box placement must comply with NEC requirements for device box fill and mounting height. Do not use this box as a junction box unless it is listed and marked for that application.
