Thomas Betts 72171-1/23/4E Square Outlet Box 2 Gang

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 72171-1/23/4E is a steel square electrical outlet box designed for standard wiring and device mounting applications in residential and commercial construction. Measuring 4-11/16 inches in height, 4-11/16 inches in width, and 2-1/8 inches in depth, this 2-gang box provides ample interior volume for device connections and wire management. The pre-galvanized steel construction delivers solid corrosion resistance for dry indoor installations. With 17 knockouts accepting 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch trade-size conduit, it accommodates a wide range of raceway and conduit entry configurations. Electricians use this box for new construction rough-in and retrofit wiring projects where a square outlet box format is required.

This outlet box suits residential and light commercial electrical installations where a square 4-11/16 inch box is the specified format. Typical applications include device mounting, junction box use, and multi-gang switch or receptacle installations in walls and ceilings. The 2-gang configuration supports side-by-side device mounting without additional mud rings where the wall finish allows direct use. This box is rated for non-weather-resistant environments and is intended for interior dry locations only.
