Thomas & Betts CIFDC-1 FD BOX,DEEP,1 GANG,1 HUB,22.5CU IN

The CIFDC-1 is a deep one-gang FD box with 22.5 cubic inches of volume. Box fill is what decides your conductor count, and 22.5 cubic inches is the usable figure to run your NEC fill calculation against, so count every current-carrying conductor, the equipment grounds as one, and the device as two. It is the deep version, which is why you get the extra volume over a shallow FS body.

It is a cast aluminum weatherproof-style box body, catalogued under weatherproof boxes, and that is the family of FS/FD boxes used on exposed exterior and damp industrial runs. Cast aluminum resists corrosion without painting. To actually make the installation weatherproof you still need a gasketed weatherproof cover and gasket sized to the device, plus sealed fittings into the hub, since the box ships as a body only.

One hub. That makes it a dead-end or termination box, not a pull-through, so if you need to continue the raceway past the device you want a two-hub or three-hub FD body instead. A single-hub FD is the right choice at the end of a run feeding one switch or receptacle.

They serve the same slot in a layout - a 1-gang deep box for a weatherproof device - but they are built from different materials and belong to different wiring systems. The CIFDC-1 is cast aluminum with one hub and 22.5 cubic inches of volume, so it lands in a metallic raceway or threaded conduit run. The Kraloy FSED050710 is a PVC 1-gang deep FSE gang box from the FSE series, intended for PVC conduit systems where the box is solvent-welded rather than threaded. Choose by the conduit system already in the ground or on the wall, not by the gang count alone.

On a run built in PVC, the Kraloy FSED050710 PVC 1-gang deep FSE box is the matching body, since it is made for the same nonmetallic system as the conduit and fittings around it. The Thomas & Betts CIFDC-1 is a cast aluminum FD box with a single hub, which pairs with threaded metallic conduit. Mixing the two means adapters at the box, so most installers keep the box material consistent with the raceway.

Same footprint, different depth. FD is the deep body and FS is the shallow one. The CIFDC-1 is the FD version at 22.5 cubic inches, which buys you room for a deeper device, a GFCI receptacle, or more conductors and splices. If you only have a plain switch or a duplex receptacle and clearance is tight against a wall or column, a shallow FS body is easier to live with.

No. It is sold as the box body only, one each. Budget separately for the FS/FD cover (blank, single receptacle, duplex, GFCI, or toggle switch as the device requires), the cover gasket for exterior work, and the conduit fittings or connectors for the hub.

You can, if the raceway is nonmetallic. The Kraloy FSED050710 is a PVC one-gang deep FSE gang box that takes the same style of FS/FD cover and suits PVC conduit runs where you want no metal in the system at all, such as corrosive or wash-down areas. Pick the cast aluminum CIFDC-1 instead when the run is rigid or EMT and you need the metallic raceway to stay continuous for grounding and for mechanical protection.

The deep body with 22.5 cubic inches gives the room a GFCI device needs behind the yoke, which is exactly where shallow FS bodies get tight. Pair it with a GFCI-opening weatherproof cover and gasket for exterior use.

The Thomas & Betts CIFDC-1 is rated at 22.5 cubic inches, which is the figure to use for conductor fill counts on that box. The Kraloy FSED050710 is described as a deep 1-gang FSE box, so it is in the same deep-body class, but size it from its own published volume rather than assuming it matches the CIFDC-1 number. If your fill calculation is tight, the 22.5 cubic inch figure on the CIFDC-1 is the one you can design to directly.

Both are candidates. The Thomas & Betts CIFDC-1, sold under the Iberville sub-brand, is a cast aluminum deep FD box with one hub at 22.5 cubic inches, the usual choice where the exterior feed arrives in threaded metal conduit and a metallic body is wanted for mechanical toughness. The Kraloy FSED050710 is the PVC FSE-series equivalent, favored where corrosion or a nonmetallic system drives the design. Both still require a weatherproof cover and gasket to finish the assembly.

Yes. Iberville is the sub-brand label on this cast box line and Thomas & Betts is the manufacturer, so a drawing calling out either name points to the same part. Order it by the part number CIFDC-1 and you will get the one-gang single-hub deep FD body.
