Overview

The ABB FS3-TB 1 Inch Shallow 1 Gang Cast Device Box is a dead-end, zinc-plated iron enclosure designed for electrical installations in demanding environments. Constructed from gray iron and finished with a corrosion-resistant zinc plating, this device box meets IP66/IP67 ingress protection ratings when paired with gasketed covers, ensuring reliable performance in wet or outdoor locations. The 1-inch shallow depth and single-gang configuration make it ideal for surface-mounted applications where space is constrained, such as commercial buildings, industrial facilities, or outdoor electrical enclosures. Key specifications include a gray finish for visibility and identification, a dead-end design to prevent cable pull-through, and compatibility with standard 1-gang electrical devices. The zinc plating provides enhanced durability against rust and corrosion, extending the service life of the enclosure in harsh conditions. With a UNSPSC code of 39121315, this device box is a standardized solution for electrical contractors and engineers requiring a robust, code-compliant enclosure. Use the FS3-TB in applications such as junction boxes, outlet enclosures, or control panel housings where protection from moisture and physical damage is critical. The IP66/IP67 rating ensures resistance to dust ingress and temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for outdoor installations, underground vaults, or industrial washdown areas. Pair this device box with ABB’s gasketed covers to achieve full environmental protection and maintain compliance with NEC and other electrical codes.
