Overview

The ABB FS1-TB 1/2 Inch Shallow 1 Gang Cast Device Box is a dead-end enclosure designed for electrical installations requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant housing. Constructed from gray iron with a zinc-plated finish, this box provides reliable protection in demanding environments. The shallow depth (1.5 inches) makes it ideal for installations where space is limited, such as behind drywall or in tight wall cavities. This device box is rated for wet locations when paired with gasketed covers, ensuring compliance with NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements for damp or humid environments. The 1-gang configuration accommodates standard electrical devices like switches, outlets, or dimmers, while the dead-end design prevents cable pull-through, maintaining secure wire connections. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, the FS1-TB is built to meet UNSPSC code 39121315 for electrical enclosures. Its zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, extending service life in industrial, commercial, or residential applications. The gray iron construction ensures durability under mechanical stress, while the compact form factor simplifies installation in tight spaces.
