Southwire G19280-UPC 10-knockout Handy Box Exposed Work

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE G19280-UPC is a steel handy box designed for exposed work applications where a compact, shallow profile is required. Measuring 2-1/8 inches by 4 inches by 1-1/2 inches, this box features 10 knockouts, giving installers flexible conduit entry options from multiple sides. It is built specifically for extra-shallow applications where limited wall depth restricts the use of a standard-depth box. Electricians use this box for mounting convenience outlets, switches, and small junction boxes in surface-mounted wiring runs on walls, ceilings, and structural members.

This handy box is well suited for residential and light commercial exposed work installations. The blank-box configuration makes it appropriate for locations where pre-knocked-out boxes pose a tamper risk, including schools, correctional facilities, and high-traffic pedestrian areas. Because the knockouts remain intact at the time of installation, only the entries needed for a given conduit run are opened, reducing unauthorized access points and maintaining a cleaner installation in sensitive environments.

Key Features

• 10 knockouts for flexible conduit entry routing on multiple sides
• Extra-shallow 1-1/2-inch depth suits installations with limited wall or surface depth
• Blank-box design reduces tamper risk in schools, prisons, and high-traffic areas
• Sized for convenience outlets, switches, and small junction boxes
• Designed for exposed work surface-mounted applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for exposed work electrical installations requiring a shallow handy box with a 4-inch face plate footprint.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for surface-mounted wiring. De-energize all circuits in the work area before mounting the box or opening knockouts. Use the appropriate knockout punch or removal tool to open only the entries required for the conduit run. Secure the box to the mounting surface with fasteners rated for the substrate type.
