Thomas Betts 2IH3-1 Aluminum Square 2 Gang Outlet Box

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 2IH3-1 is a two-gang aluminum outlet box designed for electrical wiring installations requiring a weather-resistant enclosure. Built in a square profile with a powder-coated silver finish, this box measures 4-9/16 inches in height, 4-5/8 inches in width, and 2-1/16 inches in depth. It ships with two closure plugs and ground screws included. The box is UL Listed and CSA Certified, meeting Federal Specification W-C-586 and carrying a NEMA 3R rating for resistance to falling rain and outdoor exposure. Licensed electricians install this box in both residential and light commercial applications.

This outlet box suits installations where a durable, weather-resistant enclosure is required. The NEMA 3R rating makes it appropriate for covered outdoor locations or areas subject to moisture exposure. Three 1/2-inch knockouts provide conduit entry points for standard trade-size fittings. The screw-mount design allows for straightforward surface mounting to structural members or enclosure panels. It is suitable for use in branch circuit wiring, device mounting, and conduit-feed applications handled by licensed electrical contractors.
