Overview

The ABB A863BC Non-Metallic Mud Box (SKU: A863BC) is a polycarbonate electrical enclosure designed for industrial cable management in harsh environments. This mud box features 12 integral connectors—two 1" ports, six 3/4" ports, and four 1/2" ports—allowing flexible cable routing for electrical installations, telecommunications, and automation systems. With a 29.3 cubic inch capacity, it accommodates multiple cable sizes while maintaining a concrete-tight seal for wet or outdoor applications. The non-metallic construction resists corrosion and impact, ensuring long-term durability in concrete pours, tunnels, or industrial settings. Threaded brass inserts (#10-32 for fans, #8-32 for fixtures) support loads up to 50 lbs, and the blank cover design allows customization. Listed for ceiling fan support up to 35 lbs, this mud box is ideal for tunnel form applications, masonry walls, or surface-mounted installations where rust-resistant mounting is critical. Compatible with Carlon ENT reducers for adaptability to various jobsite requirements.
