Molded from durable PVC, this outlet box provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant enclosure for device and fixture terminations where non-metallic conduit is specified. Its 1/2" trade size and single-gang FD configuration make it a standard fit for common conduit runs, and its PVC construction ensures long-term resistance to moisture, chemicals, and corrosion that can degrade metallic boxes over time.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 1/2" hub size for direct connection to matching PVC conduit runs.
- Durable Construction: Molded PVC material resists corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure, making it well suited to environments where metallic boxes would deteriorate.
- Single-Gang FD Configuration: 1G FD outlet box design accommodates standard single-gang devices and fixtures for straightforward integration into PVC conduit wiring systems.

Cantex 5133310 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use a PVC FD box like this outdoors or in a wet location?
The 5133310 is molded PVC, which resists moisture, chemicals, and corrosion that degrade metallic boxes, and it is intended for corrosion-prone and moisture-exposed environments. To make the installation weatherproof you still need the matching gasketed single-gang cover and a gasket, since the box ships as the enclosure body only.
2) What is the difference between an FD box and a standard FS box for PVC conduit?
Both are single-gang device boxes for threaded or solvent-weld conduit systems, and both take the same single-gang covers and devices. The difference is depth: FD is the deeper of the two, which gives more wiring room behind a receptacle or switch and makes it easier when several conductors and a device are landing in the same box. The Cantex 5133310 is the FD (deep) version in 1/2 inch PVC.
3) Will a standard duplex receptacle and switch fit this single-gang PVC box?
Yes. The FD configuration accommodates standard single-gang devices and fixtures, so a normal duplex receptacle, single switch, or GFCI mounts to the box ears with the appropriate single-gang cover over it.
4) Can I mix this PVC box with metal conduit or EMT on the same run?
Not directly. The 5133310 is built as part of a non-metallic raceway, with hubs sized for 1/2 inch PVC conduit bonded with solvent cement. Transitioning from EMT or rigid metal requires a proper adapter fitting at the changeover, and the equipment grounding conductor has to be carried through, since a PVC box provides no metallic bonding path.
5) Why would I spec a PVC outlet box instead of a cast metal one for a commercial job?
Two reasons drive it. Corrosion: PVC holds up where damp, chemical, or coastal exposure eats metallic boxes over time. Weight and handling: the molded PVC body is lighter than a cast metal FD box, which matters on repetitive device installs. The tradeoff is that a PVC box is non-conductive, so grounding has to be carried by conductor rather than the raceway.
6) Is the Cantex 5133310 the right part number for a 1/2 inch 1-gang PVC FD box?
Yes. Cantex manufacturer part number 5133310 is the 1/2 inch, single-gang, FD-style PVC outlet box. It is sold in the one 1/2 inch size, so there is no second option to specify on the order.
