Cantex EZ08SF 1-gang Shallow Pvc Electrical Box

Product Description

The CANTEX EZ08SF is a 1-gang, 8 cubic inch shallow PVC electrical box designed for new construction residential and light commercial wiring installations. Built from PVC, the box resists moisture and corrosion, making it a reliable choice in walls where a low-profile outlet or switch box is required. Molded-on flanges are integrated directly into the body, allowing the box to mount flush against studs or framing without separate hardware. Electricians use this box when standard-depth boxes would protrude beyond the finished wall plane or when working in shallow stud bays.

The EZ08SF suits residential rough-in wiring for switches and duplex outlets in single-gang applications. Its shallow profile makes it appropriate for installations behind tile backsplashes, in thin partition walls, or anywhere wall depth is limited. The nail-on mounting design speeds up the rough-in process on wood-frame construction, and the PVC material eliminates the grounding requirements associated with metal boxes under NEC guidelines for non-metallic wiring methods.

Key Features

• Shallow 8 cubic inch capacity suits single-gang switch or outlet installations where depth is restricted
• Molded-on PVC flanges provide secure, integrated wall mounting without additional brackets
• Nail-on design for fast attachment to wood framing during new construction rough-in
• PVC construction is non-conductive and corrosion resistant
• Compatible with standard single-gang device plates and cover plates

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-work solution for single-gang shallow PVC electrical boxes used in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the panel before making any wiring connections. The box is rated for new work only and is not intended for retrofit or remodel applications where wall access is limited to the face of the finished surface. Verify cubic inch fill calculations per NEC Article 314 before installing conductors, devices, and fittings.
