Abb DIH5-2-LM 1-gang Dry-tite Electrical Box

Product Description

The ABB DIH5-2-LM is a 1-gang Dry-Tite electrical box designed for weatherproof and moisture-resistant installations. Built for use in applications where standard boxes are not rated for wet or damp environments, this box provides a sealed enclosure for wiring devices in residential and light commercial settings. Its compact single-gang configuration makes it suitable for receptacles, switches, and similar devices. At 0.59 pounds, the box is lightweight yet durable, and its dimensions allow straightforward integration into standard framing or surface-mount applications. Electricians rely on this type of enclosure when code requires a weatherproof or damp-location-rated box.

The DIH5-2-LM is suited for outdoor walls, garages, covered patios, utility rooms, and other damp or wet-location installations where a sealed 1-gang box is required. It is appropriate for both residential new construction and retrofit work where the installation environment demands moisture protection beyond what a standard PVC or metal box offers. Electrical contractors and journeymen electricians typically specify this type of box when working to NEC wet or damp location requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for wet and damp location wiring. Shut off all power at the breaker before beginning any wiring work inside the box. Ensure all gaskets and sealing components are properly seated before securing cover plates to maintain the moisture-resistant rating. Do not over-torque mounting screws, as this can compromise the integrity of the sealed enclosure.
