Overview

The ABB A863-4SQ Non-Metallic Square Mud Box is a heavy-duty electrical enclosure engineered for direct embedment in concrete pours, particularly in tunnel form applications. Constructed from durable blue thermoplastic polycarbonate, this 4-inch square mud box delivers a 44.6 cubic inch capacity with 12 integral conduit entry points—two 1-inch, six 3/4-inch, and four 1/2-inch—providing flexible wiring solutions for demanding installations. The enclosure features mounting feet on all four corners for secure attachment to form walls using pop rivets, ensuring a rust-resistant mount during concrete pouring. Threaded brass inserts accommodate #10-32 screws for fan mounting and #8-32 screws for fixture attachment, with load ratings up to 50 lbs. for fixtures and 35 lbs. for ceiling fans. The polycarbonate construction offers superior corrosion resistance compared to metal alternatives, making it ideal for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects where longevity and reliability are critical. Avoid solvent-based paints or adhesives, as these can damage the polycarbonate material. For tunnel form applications requiring a concrete-tight, non-metallic solution, the A863-4SQ provides a proven, field-tested design with a standard carton quantity of 24 units per box.
