Orbit HSB-1-50 Handy Box 1-1/2 Inch Shallow

Product Description

The ORBIT HSB-1-50 is a shallow handy box designed for residential and light commercial electrical installations. This single-gang utility box provides a secure housing for wiring devices, outlets, and switches in surface-mount or embedded applications. With a 1-1/2 inch depth, the HSB-1-50 is suited for locations where standard-depth boxes are not practical due to shallow wall cavities or surface-mounted conduit runs. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this box as part of rough-in wiring work on standard branch circuits.

This shallow handy box is used in residential and light commercial settings where a compact, low-profile box is required. Typical applications include surface-mounted wiring on concrete block, masonry, or wood-framed walls where a device box must be mounted directly to the surface without full wall penetration. It is compatible with standard single-gang wiring devices and cover plates.

• 1-1/2 inch shallow depth for use in confined or surface-mount installations
• Single-gang configuration accepts standard outlets, switches, and wiring devices
• Designed for surface-mount or conduit-fed electrical rough-in work

Compatibility

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 breaker panel and verify with a voltage tester before beginning any wiring work. Secure the box firmly to the mounting surface before pulling conductors and making device connections. Do not exceed the box fill capacity as calculated per NEC Article 314.
