Hubbell Premise Wiring HIC Back Box

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING HIC is a back box designed to provide a secure, recessed mounting enclosure for low-voltage wiring devices and structured wiring components. Back boxes are installed in walls or ceilings to house outlet frames, faceplates, and termination hardware, creating a clean and protected termination point. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians typically install these as part of residential or light commercial structured wiring, data, or communication systems. The HIC back box offers a solid foundation for consistent, code-compliant device mounting in new construction and retrofit applications.

This back box is suited for structured wiring and low-voltage installation projects where a recessed enclosure is required behind outlet frames or communication device faceplates. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial environments. Installers use it in gang-style rough-in applications during framing or drywall phases, or in retrofit scenarios where wall access is available. The unit ships as an individual piece, making it easy to order in quantities that match specific job requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage technician. Power down or de-energize any adjacent circuits before beginning work in the wall cavity. Secure the back box firmly to wall studs or use an appropriate old-work mounting method for retrofit installs. Follow local building codes and NEC low-voltage wiring requirements throughout the installation.
