Orbit Industries TG-1-MC Gangable Switch Box 1 Gang

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES TG-1-MC is a 1-gang gangable switch box designed for old-work electrical installations. It features an integrated Tigergrip old-work mounting system and a built-in BX/MC cable clamp, eliminating the need for separate clamp hardware. At 2.5 inches deep, it provides adequate box fill volume for standard device and wiring configurations. This box is installed by licensed electricians during retrofit or remodel work where new framing is not accessible. The gangable design allows multiple units to be joined side by side when wider device configurations are required.

This switch box is suited for residential and light commercial retrofit applications where walls are already closed. It mounts directly to existing drywall using the Tigergrip bracket system, which secures the box without requiring access to wall studs. The BX/MC cable clamp accommodates armored cable entry directly at the box, making it a practical choice in installations where MC cable is the wiring method of choice. Electricians use this box when adding or relocating switches, receptacles, or low-voltage devices in finished wall assemblies.

Key Features

• 1-gang gangable construction allows side-by-side joining for multi-device installations
• Integrated Tigergrip old-work mounting bracket for tool-assisted drywall anchoring
• Built-in BX/MC cable clamp supports armored cable entry without add-on fittings
• 2.5 inch depth provides box fill capacity for standard wiring configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit option for 1-gang old-work switch box applications in residential and light commercial electrical systems using BX or MC cable wiring methods.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for box fill, cable support, and device mounting. De-energize all circuits at the panel before cutting the wall opening or making any connections. The Tigergrip bracket system requires the wall opening to be sized correctly for a secure drywall grip. Verify that the MC cable clamp is properly engaged and the cable is secured before making final connections and closing the wall cover.
