Thomas Betts DIH5-2-LM Aluminum Outlet Box 1 Gang

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS DIH5-2-LM is a single-gang aluminum outlet box designed for electrical installations requiring weather-resistant performance. Built in a rectangular profile and finished with a powder coat in silver, this box measures 4.5 inches overall height, 2.5 inches overall width, and 2 inches overall depth. It carries a NEMA 3R rating, making it suitable for outdoor and wet-location applications where protection from falling water and ice formation is required. The unit ships complete with a gasket, mounting lugs, plugs, and screws, simplifying installation for licensed electricians working in residential and light commercial settings.

This outlet box is appropriate for use in outdoor raceways, conduit systems, and surface-mount wiring applications where a weather-resistant enclosure is needed. It supports both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations, giving installers flexibility across a range of jobsite conditions. Five 0.75-inch knockouts allow for conduit entry from multiple directions, accommodating common trade-size conduit fittings. Electricians working on exterior receptacle installations, service equipment mounting, or conduit transition points will find this box well suited to those tasks.
