Abb Installation Products BH353A 3-gang New Work Electrical Box

Product Description

The ABB INSTALLATION PRODUCTS BH353A is a 3-gang new-work hard-body wiring box designed for residential and light commercial electrical rough-in. With a 53 cubic-inch (CUIN) interior capacity, it provides adequate volume for multi-device installations while maintaining compliance with NEC fill requirements. The box is constructed from a rigid plastic compound engineered to resist flexing and retain its shape during and after installation, even under mechanical stress. Integral cable clamps are molded directly into the body, eliminating the need for separate metal clamps and reducing installation hardware. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers for this product during the rough-in phase of construction.

This box is suited for new-work framing installations where the box is secured directly to a stud or framing member before drywall is applied. The 53 CUIN capacity accommodates switches, receptacles, or combination devices in a 3-gang configuration. The integral clamp design streamlines cable entry and saves time on multi-box rough-in runs. Typical applications include single-family residential, multifamily, and light commercial wall-box installations where a plastic new-work box meets local code requirements.

Key Features

• 53 CUIN interior volume supports NEC-compliant fill calculations for 3-gang device configurations
• Hard-body plastic construction resists flexing and holds shape under installation stress
• Integral molded cable clamps eliminate separate metal clamps and mounting screws
• New-work design mounts directly to studs or framing members before wallboard application
• 3-gang configuration accepts standard switches, receptacles, or combination wiring devices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard new-work solution for 3-gang plastic electrical box applications in residential and light commercial framing installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician during the rough-in phase, prior to drywall. Secure the box to framing at the correct setout depth so the front edge will be flush with the finished wall surface per NEC Article 314 requirements. De-energize all circuits in the work area before pulling and terminating conductors. Do not over-drive fasteners into the box body, as excessive force can distort the mounting ears or clamp mechanisms.
