Orbit Industries HB-1-MKO-FB Steel Handy Box Flat Bracket

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES HB-1-MKO-FB is a welded steel handy box designed for residential and commercial electrical wiring installations. It measures 2 inches wide by 4 inches tall by 1-7/8 inches deep and is fabricated from 16-gauge galvanized sheet steel. The flat bracket (FB) mounting configuration makes it suitable for surface or stud-face mounting in standard rough-in applications. Knockout options are provided on multiple sides for flexible conduit or cable entry. Licensed electricians install this box as part of branch circuit rough-in work in both new construction and retrofit projects.

This handy box is used in residential and light commercial wiring installations where a single-gang device box is required. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments. The included flat bracket allows direct mounting to structural members. Knockout layout accommodates common 1/2-inch trade-size conduit and cable connectors on the sides and bottom, giving the installer routing flexibility without additional field modification.
