Thomas Betts E981DFN Junction Box 1 Gang Pvc

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS E981DFN is a single-gang PVC electrical junction box designed for use in both indoor and outdoor wiring applications where weather resistance is required. Constructed from polyvinylchloride, this rectangular box measures 5.7 inches in overall height, 2.8 inches in overall width, and 2.3 inches in overall depth. It features two 1/2-inch knockouts for conduit or cable entry. The E981DFN is UL Listed and RoHS compliant, making it a reliable choice for licensed electricians installing branch circuit wiring, splicing conductors, or housing device connections in code-compliant installations.

This junction box is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where a weather-resistant enclosure is needed. Its single-gang rectangular form factor fits standard stud-bay and surface-mount applications. The two 1/2-inch knockouts accommodate the most common trade-size conduit fittings and cable connectors. Electricians use this box in exterior wall installations, exposed conduit runs, and wet or damp-rated locations where a standard non-weather-resistant box would not meet code.

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 voltage tester before making any wire connections inside the box. Knockout removal should be done with an appropriate punch or knockout tool to avoid cracking the PVC body. Ensure all conduit fittings and covers used with this box carry a matching wet or damp location rating where required by code.
