Southwire G19281-S-UPC Handy Box Shallow Electrical Box

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE G19281-S-UPC is a blank handy box designed for exposed work installations involving convenience outlets, switches, and small junction boxes. Built extra shallow to fit in locations with limited wall depth, this single-gang box is a practical solution where standard-depth boxes will not fit. The blank configuration eliminates factory knockouts, making it well suited for environments where unauthorized access to wiring must be prevented. Licensed electricians and maintenance professionals install this box as part of surface-mount wiring systems in commercial, institutional, and industrial settings.

This handy box is intended for exposed work applications where conduit or surface raceway systems are used. Its blank, knockout-free design makes it appropriate for high-security and high-traffic locations such as schools, correctional facilities, and heavily used public spaces where tampering with electrical enclosures is a documented concern. The extra shallow depth addresses installations where wall or surface depth is restricted and a standard handy box would not seat properly.

• Extra shallow profile engineered for installations with limited wall or surface depth
• Suitable for convenience outlets, switches, and small junction box applications in exposed work
• Designed for surface-mount conduit and raceway wiring systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface-mount enclosure for single-gang exposed wiring applications in residential, commercial, and institutional electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for surface wiring and enclosure mounting. De-energize all circuits at the panel before beginning work. Secure the box firmly to the mounting surface before pulling wire or terminating devices. Because this is a blank box, field-punched or field-drilled entries must be made with appropriate knockout punches or hole saws to maintain enclosure integrity.
