Orbit Industries GDB-1-NE Gangable Switch Box 1-gang

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES GDB-1-NE is a 1-gang gangable switch box designed for new construction and retrofit electrical rough-in work. At 3.5 inches deep, this steel switch box provides ample interior volume for device and wire management in standard wall cavities. The no-ears design keeps the exterior profile clean and is intended for installations where mounting ears are not required. Built-in leveling bumps assist electricians in achieving consistent, plumb device placement during installation. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the primary installers of this box type.

The GDB-1-NE is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where wall switches, receptacles, or low-voltage devices are mounted in wood-framed or metal-stud wall assemblies. The gangable design allows multiple boxes to be joined side by side to accommodate multi-device configurations without requiring a larger single gang box. The leveling bumps built into the box simplify layout and alignment when ganging units together or mounting in high-volume rough-in scenarios.

Key Features

• 1-gang gangable construction allows side-by-side joining for multi-device installations
• 3.5-inch depth provides generous wire capacity for device terminations
• No-ears design for clean mounting where ear-style tabs are not needed
• Built-in leveling bumps support consistent, plumb device alignment
• Suitable for residential and light commercial rough-in wiring applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style gangable switch box for use with standard 1-gang electrical devices including switches and receptacles in wood-framed or metal-stud wall assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits in the work area before beginning box installation or device wiring. Use appropriate fasteners for the wall framing material and verify box depth is compatible with finish wall thickness before securing. Do not modify the box structure or remove leveling bumps, as these features support proper device alignment and code-compliant installation.
