Orbit Industries HSB-1-50-EXT Handy Extension Box 16GA Steel

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES HSB-1-50-EXT is a single-gang handy extension box designed for use in residential and commercial electrical wiring installations. Measuring 2 inches wide by 4 inches tall by 1.5 inches deep, this box is fabricated from 16-gauge sheet steel with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. It features eight half-inch knockouts on the sides, giving electricians flexible conduit and cable entry options. The box is installed by licensed electricians where a surface-mount or extension application requires a standard single-gang wiring enclosure.

This extension box suits a range of wiring scenarios in both residential and light commercial settings. The galvanized steel construction handles the demands of exposed or semi-protected locations. The eight half-inch side knockouts accommodate half-inch conduit or cable connectors, making it compatible with standard EMT or flexible conduit runs. It is commonly used as a wiring splice point, device mounting location, or extension over an existing flush box where additional depth or a surface-mount profile is needed.

Key Features

• 16-gauge sheet steel construction for durability and rigidity
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed locations
• Eight half-inch side knockouts for flexible conduit or cable entry
• Single-gang configuration fits standard devices and cover plates
• 2 inches x 4 inches x 1.5 inches footprint matches common handy-box rough-in dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard new-installation handy extension box for residential and commercial electrical wiring applications requiring a single-gang surface-mount enclosure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits at the panel before mounting or making wiring connections inside the box. Use appropriate conduit fittings or cable connectors rated for the knockout size when securing conduit or cable to the enclosure. Verify that the box fill capacity complies with NEC conductor fill calculations before closing the installation.
