Orbit 4PB 1/2" Deep 4" Pancake Box, Galvanized Steel

Orbit 4PB 1/2" Deep 4" Pancake Box, Galvanized Steel

The Orbit 4PB Pancake Box is a low-profile 4-Inch round electrical box built from Galvanized Sheet Steel, engineered for installations where ceiling or wall clearance is limited. Measuring 4-Inch in diameter with a shallow 1/2-Inch depth, this pancake-style box provides 5.8-Cubic-Inch of usable interior capacity for mounting light fixtures, fans, or junction connections in tight spaces. The galvanized steel construction delivers durable corrosion resistance, making the 4PB a reliable choice for both residential and light commercial electrical work where a standard deep box will not fit.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 4-Inch diameter x 1/2-Inch deep, ideal for shallow ceiling and wall cavities where standard boxes cannot be installed.
