Orbit Industries HB-1-MKO Switch Box 2x4x1-7/8 in Galvanized Steel

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES HB-1-MKO is a welded steel handy box designed for use in standard residential and commercial electrical wiring installations. Measuring 2 inches x 4 inches x 1-7/8 inches deep, this single-gang box is formed from 16-gauge sheet steel with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. It ships ready to use with a full knockout layout on the sides and bottom, giving electricians flexible conduit entry options without additional prep work. The compact 1-7/8-inch depth suits shallow-wall and surface-mount scenarios where a deeper box is not an option.

This handy box is suited for both residential and light commercial rough-in wiring. It is commonly used for device mounting, junction applications, and conduit system entry points where a single-gang form factor is required. The galvanized steel construction holds up in damp or exposed interior locations. Side knockouts accommodate 1/2-inch conduit and MKO entries on four positions each, while the bottom provides one 1/2-inch knockout and one MKO for additional routing flexibility.
