Orbit DHB-1-50 Handy Outlet Box

Product Description

The ORBIT DHB-1-50 is a handy outlet box designed for use in electrical rough-in and device installation applications. This single-gang box provides a secure, code-compliant enclosure for switches, receptacles, and other wiring devices. It is a standard component in residential and light commercial electrical work, typically installed by licensed electricians during new construction or remodel projects. The DHB-1-50 offers a straightforward mounting solution where wall space or structural conditions call for a handy box form factor.

The DHB-1-50 is suited for surface-mount or bracket-mount installations in residential and light commercial settings. It serves as a wiring device enclosure in applications where standard in-wall boxes are not practical, such as exposed conduit runs in utility rooms, basements, garages, and mechanical spaces. Electricians select this box for quick, accessible device mounting in locations that require a compact, durable enclosure.

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 mounting the box or making any wiring connections. Secure the box firmly to the mounting surface before pulling and terminating conductors.
