Southwire G19281-UPC 10-knockout Handy Box

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE G19281-UPC is a 10-knockout handy box designed for convenience outlets, switches, and small junction box applications in exposed work installations. Measuring 2-1/8 inches x 4 inches x 1-7/8 inches, this extra-shallow box is built specifically for locations with limited wall depth. The blank-body design is intentional — no pre-punched knockouts means the enclosure resists tampering, making it well suited for environments where unauthorized access to the box interior is a concern. Electricians and electrical contractors install this box as part of surface-mounted wiring systems in both new construction and retrofit work.

This handy box fits residential, commercial, and institutional surface-mounted wiring applications. Its extra-shallow 1-7/8-inch depth makes it a practical choice where standard-depth boxes cannot be used due to structural constraints. The tamper-resistant blank configuration is particularly appropriate for schools, correctional facilities, and high-traffic pedestrian areas where knockouts must not be modified in the field. Exposed conduit and surface wiring runs are the primary installation context.

Key Features

• Extra-shallow 1-7/8-inch depth accommodates installations with limited wall depth
• 10-knockout configuration provides wiring entry flexibility for exposed work
• Blank box design resists tampering in high-traffic or secured environments
• Compact 2-1/8-inch x 4-inch face fits standard single-gang device and cover plate footprints
• Suitable for convenience outlets, switches, and small junction box applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style surface-mount handy box for use with standard single-gang devices, covers, and conduit fittings in exposed electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for surface-mounted wiring systems. Shut off power at the panel before making any wiring connections inside the box. Secure the box to the mounting surface before pulling conductors and making terminations. Knockout removal should be done only as required for conduit entry — the blank design is intended to limit field modification in sensitive locations.
