Southwire 56111-UPC Steel Round Pan Ceiling Box 50 Lb

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 56111-UPC is a round pan ceiling box designed for mounting ceiling and wall lighting fixtures in applications where a shallow-depth box is required. Constructed from drawn steel, this box delivers strong tensile strength for reliable fixture support. It carries a 50-pound fixture weight rating, making it suitable for a wide range of standard ceiling light fixtures and fan-rated applications where shallow depth is acceptable. Both UL listed and RoHS compliant, this box meets safety requirements commonly enforced on residential and light commercial electrical installations. Electricians and lighting contractors typically reach for this box when a low-profile metal enclosure is needed in ceiling or wall locations.

This pan box is commonly used in residential and light commercial settings where ceiling or wall lighting fixtures must be supported at a shallow mounting depth. Typical installation scenarios include new construction and retrofit projects where joist or stud mounting is accessible and a full-depth box is not required. The round pan configuration fits standard ceiling medallion cutouts and works with most common fixture canopies.
