Overview

The ABB B118B-UPC One-Gang New Work Outlet Box is a non-metallic PVC wiring enclosure designed for new construction installations in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Constructed from rigid thermoplastic PVC, this outlet box delivers exceptional chemical resistance and structural integrity in demanding environments. The 18 cubic inch volume provides ample space for complex wiring configurations while maintaining a compact footprint—measuring 3-3/4 inches in length, 2-1/4 inches in width, and 2-15/16 inches in depth. This space-efficient design is ideal for tight installations where precise fit and functionality are critical. The B118B-UPC features a steel mounting bracket compatible with 3/8-inch to 5/8-inch wallboard, supporting both steel and wood stud applications. The bright blue color ensures quick visual identification during installation, reducing workflow errors in busy environments. Unlike traditional thermoset boxes, this PVC unit combines the durability of hard-shell construction with the flexibility of thermoplastic materials, resisting cracking and flexing in extreme conditions. The rigid design maintains shape even under mechanical stress, while the nested stacking capability optimizes storage and transport efficiency. Engineered for versatility, this outlet box meets UL514C standards and is listed for masonry wall applications.
