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

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 2IH7-2 is a 2-gang square aluminum outlet box designed for electrical wiring applications requiring durable, weather-resistant enclosure. Rated NEMA 3R, it is suitable for installations exposed to rain and exterior conditions. The body is aluminum with a silver powder-coated finish, measuring 4-9/16 inches in height, 4-5/8 inches in width, and 2-1/16 inches in depth. Seven 3/4-inch knockouts provide flexible conduit entry options. The box ships with two closure plugs and ground screws included. Electricians install this box in both residential and light commercial settings where a protected, code-compliant outlet enclosure is required.

This outlet box is well-suited for surface-mount or recessed wiring applications in exterior walls, covered utility areas, garages, and light industrial spaces. Its NEMA 3R rating makes it appropriate for locations subject to windblown rain. The screw-mount design allows straightforward attachment to structural framing or masonry surfaces. The 2-gang configuration accommodates two standard devices side by side, making it practical for duplex receptacles or switch combinations in service areas where multiple circuits terminate at the same location.

Installation Notes

Licensed electricians should install this box in accordance with NEC requirements for outlet box fill, grounding, and weatherproofing. De-energize all circuits before beginning installation. Use appropriate conduit fittings at each knockout entry and seal unused knockouts with the included closure plugs to maintain the NEMA 3R rating. Secure the box to framing or structural surfaces using the screw-mount points before pulling wire.
