Orbit GDB-1-MC-FB 3-1/2 Inch Gang Switch Box

Product Description

The ORBIT GDB-1-MC-FB is a 3-1/2 inch gang switch box designed for electrical rough-in applications in residential and light commercial construction. This box provides a secure, code-compliant enclosure for switch and device installations in standard wall assemblies. At 44.0 pounds per package, this listing likely represents a bulk or case quantity, making it a practical choice for contractors stocking materials for multi-unit or multi-room projects. Licensed electricians install this box as part of branch circuit rough-in work before drywall installation.

The GDB-1-MC-FB gang switch box is suited for new construction and remodel wiring projects where a 3-1/2 inch depth is required. It is appropriate for single-gang switch and receptacle device installations in wood-frame wall cavities. Electricians select this box for applications where deeper device accommodation or additional wire fill capacity is needed compared to standard shallow boxes.
