Thomas Betts FDC1-TB 1 Gang Device Box Iron Rectangle

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS FDC1-TB is a single-gang rectangular electrical device box constructed from zinc-plated iron for durable, long-lasting service in residential and light commercial wiring applications. The box measures 2-3/4 inches in overall width and ships at 2.18 pounds, reflecting the solid iron construction. Two 1/2-inch knockouts provide conduit entry points, giving installers flexible routing options. The gray zinc-plated finish resists corrosion in standard indoor environments. This is a non-weather-resistant enclosure intended for interior rough-in work where a licensed electrician is mounting switches, receptacles, or other wiring devices.

This device box is suited for single-gang wiring device installations in new construction or retrofit work. It accommodates standard 1/2-inch trade-size conduit connections via the provided knockouts. The rectangular iron body is a common choice when code or job specifications call for a metal box over plastic, particularly in commercial or industrial occupancies where metallic wiring methods are required or preferred. Electrical contractors and journeymen electricians are the typical installers for this type of enclosure.
