Orbit 1B50-3-BR Single-gang Weatherproof Outlet Box

Product Description

The ORBIT 1B50-3-BR is a single-gang weatherproof outlet box designed for outdoor and wet-location electrical installations. Constructed from die cast copper-free aluminum with a bronze powder coat finish, it provides durable, corrosion-resistant housing for receptacles, switches, and wiring devices exposed to moisture, dust, and harsh environmental conditions. The box measures 4.5 inches tall, 2.75 inches wide, and 2 inches deep, offering 18.3 cubic inches of internal volume. Three 0.5-inch threaded conduit outlets allow flexible conduit entry from multiple directions. Licensed electricians install this box in applications requiring NEC-compliant wet-location protection.

The 1B50-3-BR is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial installations where outdoor receptacles or switches must be protected from weather exposure. Typical applications include exterior walls, covered patios, equipment pads, and other damp or wet locations. The single-gang configuration accepts standard wiring devices, and the bronze finish coordinates with common outdoor trim hardware. The three threaded outlets support conduit runs from different approach angles, making it adaptable to surface-mount conduit installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes for wet-location wiring. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify absence of voltage before beginning work. Ensure conduit fittings used at the threaded outlets are rated for wet locations and that any cover or in-use cover installed over this box carries a matching wet-location rating. Do not overtighten conduit locknuts, as this can crack the box casting.
