Thomas Betts 2IH4-1 Square Aluminum Outlet Box 2 Gang

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 2IH4-1 is a two-gang, square aluminum outlet box designed for electrical rough-in and device mounting in exposed or weather-prone locations. Constructed from powder-coated aluminum with a silver finish, it carries a NEMA 3R rating, making it suitable for installations where rain and weathering are a concern. The box measures 4-9/16 inches in overall height, 4-5/8 inches in overall width, and 2-1/16 inches in overall depth. Four 1/2-inch knockouts allow flexible conduit or cable entry. The unit includes two closure plugs and ground screws. It is installed by licensed electricians on commercial, industrial, and residential projects requiring a screw-mount metallic outlet enclosure.

This outlet box is suited for use in both indoor and outdoor applications where NEMA 3R weather-resistant protection is required. Typical install scenarios include exposed surface wiring on exterior walls, service entrances, outbuildings, and light commercial panel-feed locations. The two-gang configuration supports side-by-side device mounting. Compliance with CSA, UL File 28688, UL File E2969, Federal Specification W-C-586, and RoHS makes it an appropriate choice for projects subject to inspection or governed by procurement specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local ordinances. De-energize all circuits at the panel before mounting the box or pulling conductors. Use the appropriate conduit fittings or cable connectors rated for the knockout trade size to maintain the enclosure integrity rating. Seal unused knockouts with the included closure plugs to preserve the NEMA 3R weather-resistance rating.
