Overview

The ABB FDWS62 (SKU: FDWS62) is a robust, industrial-grade aluminum die cast box designed for secure enclosure mounting of wiring devices, switches, electronic components, and terminal blocks. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this box is constructed from copper-free* aluminum alloy A360, offering superior corrosion resistance, especially in dry, damp, and wet locations. Its die-cast construction, combined with securely fastened mounting plates, provides a rugged protective enclosure suitable for demanding industrial and OEM applications. The FDWS62 features precision NPT threaded hubs for trouble-free field installation of rigid or IMC conduit. A key feature is its cover mounting holes, tapped for standard 6-32 screws, ensuring compatibility with all FS and FD cover assemblies. The box includes a 3/4-inch top opening, providing ample space for wiring and component installation. Internal grounding screws are standard on all boxes, and mounting lugs are also standard. Compliant with UL Listed and CSA Certified standards, and meeting Federal Spec. W-C-586, the FDWS62 is also NEMA 3R rated and suitable for use in wet locations when paired with appropriate gasketed covers. The aluminum lacquer finish enhances its durability. This device box is ideal for use as a junction for branch conduits, a pull box for conductors in a threaded rigid conduit system, or to provide openings for splices and taps in conductors, facilitating maintenance and future system changes. Its spacious, accessible wiring chamber simplifies conductor management and splicing. The clean cover edges ensure good gasket sealing for raintight performance. The FDWS62 is designed for applications requiring reliable protection and easy access to electrical components in harsh industrial environments.
