Thomas Betts 2IH7-1 Square Aluminum Outlet Box 2 Gang

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 2IH7-1 is a two-gang square aluminum outlet box rated for outdoor and weather-exposed installations under NEMA 3R. Built from powder-coated aluminum with a silver finish, it resists corrosion and handles the demands of commercial and industrial wiring environments. The box measures 4-9/16 inches tall, 4-5/8 inches wide, and 2-1/16 inches deep, providing adequate volume for device mounting and wiring terminations. Seven 1/2-inch knockouts allow flexible conduit entry from multiple directions. Includes two closure plugs and ground screws. Licensed electricians install this box in conduit-fed systems where weather protection is required.

This outlet box suits residential service entrances, commercial exterior walls, light industrial panels, and any application where a weather-resistant enclosure is required by code. The NEMA 3R rating makes it appropriate for installations exposed to rain, sleet, and external ice formation. Its screw-mount design allows direct attachment to structural surfaces or enclosure back-plates. The two-gang configuration supports dual-device layouts such as duplex receptacles or switch combinations in outdoor or damp-location wiring runs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits at the panel before mounting or wiring the box. Use appropriate conduit fittings sized to the 1/2-inch knockouts; seal unused knockouts with the included closure plugs to maintain the NEMA 3R rating. Verify that the mounting surface is structurally sound and that the box is plumb before securing with screws.
