Orbit Industries HDB-1-MKO Steel Handy Box 2x4 Mko Knockouts

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES HDB-1-MKO is a steel handy box designed for residential and commercial electrical wiring installations. Constructed from 16-gauge galvanized sheet steel, this switch box measures 2 inches wide by 4 inches long by 2-1/8 inches deep, providing adequate volume for device wiring and terminations. Knockout configurations include four 1/2-inch knockouts and four MKO knockouts on the sides, plus one 1/2-inch knockout and one MKO knockout on the bottom, giving installers flexible conduit entry options. Licensed electricians use this box as a standard wiring device enclosure for switches, outlets, and junction applications.

This handy box suits typical branch-circuit wiring tasks in both residential and light commercial settings. The galvanized steel finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for dry and damp interior locations. Side and bottom knockout options accommodate 1/2-inch conduit or cable entries in multiple orientations, making it adaptable to a range of rough-in configurations. It is a common choice for exposed-surface or flush-wall installations where a single-gang device mounting platform is required.
