Orbit Industries GB-1-FB Gangable Switch Box with Fb Bracket

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES GB-1-FB is a gangable single-gang switch box designed for new-work and retrofit electrical installations. It includes an FB bracket mount for secure attachment and features a 9/16 inch setback, making it suitable for standard wall assemblies where precise device positioning is required. The box accepts 1/2-inch knockouts and is designed to gang with adjacent boxes when multi-gang configurations are needed. Licensed electricians and experienced DIYers install this type of device box during rough-in or cut-in work on switch and outlet circuits.

The GB-1-FB is suited for single-gang cut-in applications in residential and light commercial settings. The included FB bracket assists in securing the box to drywall or similar wall surfaces without requiring direct stud attachment. The 9/16 inch setback accommodates standard wall finishes, keeping the device flush and code-compliant after the wallplate is installed. It is commonly used when installing toggle switches, GFCI devices, or standard duplex receptacles in finished or semi-finished wall cavities.

Key Features

• Single-gang gangable design allows multi-gang configurations when multiple boxes are joined side by side
• FB bracket mount included for stable cutout installation without direct stud contact
• 9/16 inch setback accommodates standard drywall thickness and finish materials
• 1/2-inch knockout openings for standard NM cable, conduit connectors, or bushings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-gang cut-in switch box suitable for standard residential and light commercial electrical device installations where a 9/16 inch setback and bracket-mount configuration are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify the absence of voltage with a tested instrument before beginning work. The FB bracket should be secured firmly within the wall cutout before pulling wire or making device connections. Do not overtighten the bracket hardware, as this can deform the box and affect device mounting.
