Orbit FA-UMAB Fire Alarm Switch Box, 16 Gauge Steel
The Orbit FA-UMAB Fire Alarm Switch Box is a 4-Inch x 4-Inch x 3-1/2-Inch extra deep enclosure built from 16 gauge sheet steel with a fully welded body for long-term structural integrity. Designed with a built-in adapter, this switch box is purpose-built to house fire alarm switches and related life-safety components in commercial and industrial electrical systems. The extra-deep 3-1/2-Inch profile provides additional interior working room compared to standard 4-Inch square boxes, giving installers more space for wiring, splices, and device mounting without compromising the compact 4-Inch x 4-Inch footprint. As a welded steel enclosure, the FA-UMAB is engineered for durability in demanding installation environments where a rigid, non-flexing box body is required.
