Southwire WB2550X 2-gang Weatherproof Box 1/2 Inch Hub

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE WB2550X is a 2-gang weatherproof electrical box designed for outdoor and wet-location wiring applications. It features a 1/2 inch conduit hub entry, allowing direct connection to standard 1/2 inch EMT or rigid conduit runs. This box is intended for use in residential and light commercial installations where moisture protection is required at the rough-in stage. Licensed electricians install this box during conduit rough-in on exterior walls, covered patios, and similar exposed locations before device and cover plate installation.

The WB2550X suits outdoor receptacle, switch, and device installations where code requires weatherproof protection. It is commonly used in new construction and retrofit work on exterior building surfaces, in utility areas, and at outdoor service points. The 2-gang configuration accommodates dual-device wiring within a single protected enclosure, reducing the need for separate box installations in multi-device layouts.

Key Features

• 2-gang configuration supports two wiring devices in a single weatherproof enclosure
• 1/2 inch hub provides direct conduit entry for EMT or rigid conduit runs
• Weatherproof construction rated for wet and damp outdoor locations
• Designed for use with standard weatherproof cover plates and in-use covers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit weatherproof box for 2-gang outdoor electrical device installations using 1/2 inch conduit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit at the panel before beginning box installation or device wiring. Ensure conduit connections are properly secured and sealed to maintain the weatherproof rating of the assembly. Use an approved in-use weatherproof cover plate to maintain wet-location compliance after device installation.
