Thomas & Betts IH3-2-LM Device Boxes, Covers & Accessories, 100 Pack

It's a single-gang die cast aluminum device box with 17 cubic inches of volume. That cubic content is cast right into the box along with the UL marking, which is what an inspector looks for when checking box fill against conductor count.

Yes, in dry, damp and wet locations, but the box alone does not make the installation rain tight. It becomes rain tight only when paired with the appropriate Red Dot cover. Order the cover with it or you have an open enclosure on the wall.

The Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof outlet box is also a one-gang die-cast aluminum box. The IH3-2-LM is likewise die-cast aluminum in a one-gang configuration, with a 17 cubic inch wiring volume and a powder-coated silver finish. Confirm hub size and cover prep against your conduit run before swapping, since the IH3-2-LM is rain tight only when paired with an appropriate Red Dot cover.

No. The IH3-2-LM is a die-cast aluminum device box intended for dry, damp and wet locations and is UL listed for that service, not for classified areas. For hazardous locations, the explosionproof malleable iron conduit outlet boxes are the correct family: the Appleton GRJ series and the Appleton GRJS universal series are both explosionproof malleable iron conduit outlet bodies.

The IH3-2-LM is a one-gang die-cast aluminum box built as a rugged enclosure for devices in dry, damp and wet locations, so it is more box than a finished interior wall usually needs and it is single gang only. For multi-device residential walls, the Cantex EZ Box is a PVC multi-gang residential outlet box, which covers the ganged interior application the IH3-2-LM does not.

The published case dimensions are 4-9/16, 2-13/16 and 2 inches, with mounting lug references at 3-13/16, 3-1/2, 3-1/4, 1-7/8 and 1-1/2 inches. Map those to the spec sheet drawing letters (A through J) before you lay out your mounting holes; the drawing is published with the product.

The casting includes integral mounting lugs, so it surface mounts with fasteners through the lugs rather than needing a separate bracket. The mounting plates are fastened securely at the factory, which is the detail that keeps a device from loosening and bringing you back for a call back.

It is built for corrosion resistance: Alloy A380 aluminum body, certified zinc alloy hardware and stainless steel springs, finished powder-coated in silver. For genuinely corrosive or classified atmospheres, a malleable iron explosionproof box such as the Appleton GRJ Series is the different animal to look at instead.

Yes. The wiring chamber is accessible for pulling conductors, making splices and later changes to the system, and it is listed for use as a junction box on branch conduits. The interior surfaces are precision cast and machined so insulation doesn't snag during a pull.

UL is the certification carried on the IH3-2-LM, and it is RoHS compliant. The UL mark and cubic content are cast into the box itself, which keeps inspection straightforward on a facility job.

The IH3-2-LM is a die cast aluminum enclosure meant for exposed, rugged duty in dry, damp or wet locations with conduit. For residential rough-in inside walls, a PVC box like the Cantex EZ Series multi-gang residential box is the usual choice. For a dedicated 240V appliance connection there's the Pass & Seymour P242RRD range and dryer box in thermoplastic. Another die cast aluminum one-gang weatherproof option is the Mulberry Royal Mountie.

No. The P242RRD is a thermoplastic range and dryer box, purpose-built to house a single high-amperage appliance receptacle. The IH3-2-LM is a 17 cubic inch one-gang die-cast aluminum device and junction box used for branch conduit splices and general wiring devices. Different enclosure material and different intended device, so they are not interchangeable.

Choose a round body when you are terminating conduit for a fixture or pulling point rather than mounting a wiring device. The Appleton GRT75 is a malleable iron round conduit outlet box for that use. The IH3-2-LM is a rectangular one-gang die-cast aluminum device box with mounting lugs and machined surfaces for safer wire pulling, sized to accept a standard wiring device behind a cover.

The IH3-2-LM uses alloy A380 aluminum with certified zinc alloy and stainless steel springs for increased corrosion resistance, and its clean cover edges are made to seal against a gasket. The Appleton GRJ and GRJS series are malleable iron conduit outlet boxes, a heavier casting typically specified where impact and classified-area ratings drive the choice. Pick on the environment and the rating your drawing calls for.

Sold in a 100 unit pack, broken into cartons of 50, with each box packed individually as the inner unit. Each box weighs 0.54 lbs on its own. Pricing unit of measure is each, so a 100 pack is 100 individual boxes.

The cover edges are machined clean, which is what lets a gasket seat evenly all the way around instead of leaking at a rough spot. Pair it with the correct Red Dot cover and the assembly is rain tight.
