Thomas Betts DS-48 Round Aluminum Outlet Box 1 Gang

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS DS-48 is a round, single-gang aluminum outlet box designed for electrical wiring installations where durability and weather resistance are required. Constructed from powder-coated aluminum with a silver finish, this outlet body measures 2-7/16 inches in height, 4-1/8 inches in width, and 1-5/8 inches in depth. It features five 3/4-inch knockouts for flexible conduit entry and screw-mount installation. Rated weather-resistant and listed to Federal Specification W-C-586B and UL standards, it is suited for use by licensed electricians in both indoor and outdoor applications where a robust metal enclosure is specified.

The DS-48 is intended for single-gang outlet or device installations in commercial, industrial, and residential settings. Its round profile and aluminum construction make it a common choice in conduit-based wiring systems, including surface-mount and flush-mount configurations. The weather-resistant rating expands its suitability to covered outdoor locations, mechanical rooms, and other environments where a standard plastic box would not meet code or durability requirements. The screw-mount design accommodates standard device yokes and outlet configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the panel and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Knock out only the conduit entries needed to maintain the enclosure integrity. Ensure all conduit fittings are properly secured and that the box is firmly mounted to the supporting structure before pulling conductors.
