Appleton 175FVB 3-1/2 Inch Deep Switch Box

Product Description

The APPLETON 175FVB is a 3-1/2 inch deep switch box designed for use in electrical wiring installations. This enclosure provides the interior depth required for device mounting and wire management in standard electrical rough-in work. It is suited for mounting switches, outlets, and similar wiring devices in residential and light commercial applications. Licensed electricians install this box as part of branch-circuit wiring systems, and it is built to accommodate the conductor fill and device space that code-compliant installations require.

The 175FVB is used in new construction and retrofit electrical projects where a deeper switch box is needed to house additional wiring volume or stacked conductors. Its dimensions make it a practical fit for standard stud-bay installations. The 3-1/2 inch depth accommodates wire fill requirements where a standard shallow box would not meet NEC conductor fill calculations.

Key Features

• 3-1/2 inch interior depth for increased conductor fill capacity
• Compact footprint suitable for standard stud-bay rough-in
• Lightweight construction at 0.4 pounds for easy single-hand positioning during install
• Designed for switch and outlet device mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard rough-in switch box for residential and light commercial electrical wiring applications requiring a 3-1/2 inch deep enclosure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Disconnect and lock out branch-circuit power before making any wiring connections inside the box. Verify conductor fill does not exceed NEC Article 314 fill calculations for the box volume. Do not over-tighten device mounting screws, as this can crack the box ears or distort the enclosure.
