Overview

The ABB 806 SW Gangable Switch Box (SKU: 806 SW) from ABB - Installation Products is a compact, pre-galvanized steel electrical enclosure designed for non-metallic sheathed cable installations. Measuring 3 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep, this switch box provides 12.5 cubic inches of internal volume, offering sufficient space for wiring terminations and connections in tight installation environments. The box features 1/2 inch knockouts on all sides and the bottom, allowing for flexible cable entry points to accommodate various routing configurations. Constructed from pre-galvanized steel, the 806 SW delivers corrosion-resistant durability for long-term performance in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. A key feature is the recessed S bracket, set back 5/8 inch, which enables seamless ganging of multiple boxes to create larger junction or switch box assemblies. The included non-metallic cable clamps (C-5) ensure secure cable retention without damaging sheathing, while the compact footprint makes it ideal for space-constrained installations. Unlike conduit-specific boxes, the 806 SW is specifically engineered for non-metallic sheathed cable (NM), providing a tailored solution for applications where conduit installation is impractical. The 806 SW is part of ABB's gangable switch box series, designed for expandable electrical configurations while maintaining a low-profile installation. For projects requiring larger volumes, compare with ABB's 104-W-FB-1/2 (15.6 cu. in., galvanized steel, conduit-compatible) or 132-W-AB-1/2 (30.3 cu. in., two-gang, galvanized steel, conduit-compatible) to select the optimal enclosure for your wiring needs.
