Carlon B118B-UPC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the ABB B118B-UPC outlet box bracket work on steel studs, or is it wood only?
Both. The integrated bracket on the ABB B118B-UPC 1-gang PVC box is built for steel and wood stud framing, and it sets the box for 3/8 inch to 5/8 inch wallboard. So a crew running metal studs in light commercial and a framer on wood studs in a house can use the same box.
2) Is 18 cubic inches enough box fill for a single receptacle with 12 AWG feed-through wiring?
The ABB 1-gang PVC box gives 18 cubic inches of usable volume for devices and splices. Box fill is calculated per NEC Article 314.16, and this box is designed and listed for non-metallic sheathed cable use under Article 314. Run your conductor, device, clamp and grounding allowances against the 18 cubic inch figure before you commit to the cable count.
3) Can I use this PVC box with metal-clad or conduit, or only Romex?
This ABB box is designed and listed specifically for use with non-metallic sheathed cable per NEC Article 314. It is a new-work, NM-cable box. For MC cable or conduit runs, use a box rated and clamped for that wiring method instead.
4) Can I use this bracket-mount box for a remodel or old work retrofit?
No. The ABB B118B-UPC is a new-work box, meaning the bracket fastens to the stud before the wallboard goes on. For cutting into finished drywall you need an old work box with wing clamps instead.
5) What are the dimensions of the ABB B118B 1-gang new work box?
Length 3-3/4 inches, width 2-1/4 inches, depth 2-15/16 inches. The 2-15/16 inch depth is the number to check first: in a 2x4 wall you have room, but in a 2x2 or furred-out wall, or where insulation or a stud-side obstruction sits behind, confirm you have the depth before nailing it off.
6) Is the ABB B118B-UPC outlet box UL Listed for inspection?
Yes, it is UL Listed under UL File E11461. That plus the Article 314 listing for non-metallic sheathed cable is what an inspector looks for on a residential or light commercial new-work rough-in.
7) Will this box hold a standard single receptacle or switch with a normal cover plate?
Yes. It is a single-gang configuration, so it takes one standard device, a duplex receptacle or a toggle or decorator switch, with a standard 1-gang wall plate. For two devices side by side you would need a 2-gang box.
8) Why is this outlet box blue, and does the color mean anything electrically?
The blue housing is jobsite identification, not a rating. PVC device boxes are commonly molded in blue so an electrician can spot the non-metallic device boxes across a rough-in at a glance. Electrically it behaves the same as any listed PVC box of the same volume.
