Abb Installation Products B118A Single Gang Switch Outlet Box

Product Description

The ABB INSTALLATION PRODUCTS B118A is a single-gang, new-work switch and outlet box designed for use in residential and light commercial electrical rough-in applications. Molded from blue PVC, this box offers 18 cubic inches of interior volume, meeting NEC fill requirements for most standard switch and receptacle installations. It ships with captive nails for direct attachment to wood framing studs and includes leveling guides to ensure flush, plumb mounting before drywall installation. Licensed electricians and rough-in crews install this box during the framing stage before walls are closed.

This box is intended for new construction wiring projects where the box is secured directly to a stud. The blue PVC construction resists moisture and eliminates the grounding concerns associated with metal boxes in non-metallic sheathed cable runs. Two knockouts are provided on each end to accommodate standard NM, UF, or conduit entries depending on the wiring method used. The leveling guides assist in setting consistent projection depth relative to the finished wall surface.

Key Features

• 18 cubic inch interior volume meets NEC box fill calculations for single-gang devices
• Blue PVC construction — lightweight, non-conductive, and moisture-resistant
• Captive nails allow fast, direct attachment to wood framing members
• Leveling guides simplify consistent depth setting before drywall installation
• 2 knockouts on each end for flexible cable or conduit entry routing
• Single-gang new-work design sized for standard switch or outlet devices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style new-work box compatible with standard single-gang switch and outlet devices installed per NEC guidelines in wood-framed residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician during the rough-in phase before wall surfaces are closed. Nail directly to the face of a framing stud so the box projects to the correct depth for the finished wall thickness. Verify box fill compliance per NEC Article 314 before pulling conductors. Do not install in applications requiring a metallic or grounded enclosure where local code mandates it.
