Orbit Industries GB-1-MKO Gangable Switch Box with Ears

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES GB-1-MKO is a gangable switch box designed for single-gang electrical device installations. Built 2.5 inches deep, it provides adequate wiring space for switches, receptacles, and similar devices in standard residential and light commercial rough-in applications. The box features integral ears for flush-mount device attachment and is constructed for gang-out expandability, allowing multiple boxes to be joined side by side where multi-gang configurations are required. Licensed electricians install this box during rough-in framing stages before drywall application.

The GB-1-MKO is suited for new construction and retrofit wall installations where a single-gang metallic switch box is required. Its gangable design makes it a practical choice in runs where additional devices may need to be added in the same wall cavity. The included ears allow direct device mounting without the need for separate mounting hardware, streamlining installation workflow in both residential and light commercial settings.

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 making any wiring connections. Secure the box firmly to framing members before pulling wire to prevent movement during device termination.
