Overview

The ABB FSC3-TB 1" Shallow 1-Gang Cast Device Box is a thru-feed electrical enclosure designed for wet locations when paired with a gasketed cover. Constructed from Class 30 gray iron alloy, this box delivers corrosion resistance and durability in demanding industrial, commercial, and outdoor environments. The zinc-plated finish with aluminum acrylic paint ensures long-term protection against moisture and corrosion, meeting UL 514A and CSA C22.2 No.18 standards for wet locations. Key specifications include a 2.00" width (A), 2.75" depth (B), and 4.28" height (C). The thru-feed design features a 5.38" throat length (F) with a 0.935–1.035" throat diameter (G) for clean cable entry and exit. The 1" NPT hub size accommodates standard conduit sizes, while the 0.88" hub opening (D) ensures compatibility with common electrical fittings. The box dimensions optimize space in shallow installations without sacrificing device accommodation. Ideal for housing switches, sensors, and other 1-gang electrical components, the FSC3-TB simplifies installation with its thru-feed design, reducing cable routing complexity. The neoprene gasket (included with gasketed covers) provides an IP-rated seal for wet environments. Compatible with standard 1-gang devices, this box is a reliable choice for applications requiring corrosion-resistant protection in humid, damp, or outdoor conditions. The shallow design minimizes protrusion while maintaining structural integrity, making it suitable for tight spaces or surface-mounted installations.
