Southwire G19281-3/4-UPC Handy Box 8-knockout Shallow

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE G19281-3/4-UPC is a single-gang handy box designed for convenience outlets, switches, and small junction boxes in exposed work applications. Measuring 2-1/8 inches wide by 4 inches tall by 1-7/8 inches deep, this box is specifically built for extra shallow installations where wall depth is limited. It ships as a blank box with 8 knockouts, making it well suited for locations where pre-punched openings could invite tampering. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this box in commercial, institutional, and industrial settings where conduit-fed exposed wiring is standard practice.

This handy box is intended for exposed work conduit installations in environments that demand a secure, tamper-resistant enclosure. Its blank knockout configuration is particularly appropriate for schools, correctional facilities, and high-traffic pedestrian areas where unsecured knockouts pose a safety or security concern. The shallow 1-7/8-inch depth makes it practical in retrofit scenarios or surface-mounted applications where full-depth boxes cannot be accommodated.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for surface-mounted wiring enclosures. De-energize all circuits in the work area before mounting or wiring the box. Knockouts should be removed only as needed using an appropriate knockout punch or chisel to maintain the integrity of unused openings.
