Orbit HDB-1-MKO 1-Gang Welded Deep Handy Box

The Orbit HDB-1-MKO is a 1-gang welded deep handy box measuring 2-1/8" in depth, engineered to provide extra interior volume for electrical device installations that require additional wiring clearance. This welded steel handy box is built with an MKO configuration, giving installers a dependable enclosure for switches, receptacles, and other single-gang devices in commercial and industrial settings.

Orbit's welded construction is designed to deliver a rigid, one-piece enclosure that resists flexing and maintains its shape through repeated installation and service cycles.

Orbit HDB-1-MKO – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How deep is the Orbit HDB-1-MKO handy box, and will it give me room for a receptacle plus wire nuts?
The HDB-1-MKO body is 2-1/8 inches deep, which is the deep version of the single-gang handy box rather than the shallower standard depth. That extra depth is what you want when a device body plus pigtails and connectors would otherwise crowd a standard box. For a single switch or receptacle on an exposed run, it gives you the clearance to fold conductors behind the device.
2) Is the Orbit HDB-1-MKO a surface-mount box or does it go in the wall?
Handy boxes are surface-mount enclosures, and that is how the HDB-1-MKO is built. It mounts on the face of a wall, deck, or structural member and is the standard choice for exposed conduit and EMT runs in commercial and industrial work. For concealed work behind drywall with a flush cover plate, a standard device box is the right part instead.
3) How many devices does a 1-gang handy box like the Orbit HDB-1-MKO hold?
One. The HDB-1-MKO is a 1-gang box, sized for a single switch or single receptacle. If you need two devices side by side at the same location, a single-gang handy box is the wrong choice and you need a 2-gang box or a gangable device box instead.
4) How many Orbit HDB-1-MKO handy boxes come in a pack?
They ship 100 boxes to a pack, which is how electrical contractors and MRO stockrooms usually buy single-gang handy boxes for a multi-unit or whole-building rough-in. The part number to reference is HDB-1-MKO.
5) Does the Orbit HDB-1-MKO come with a cover plate or mounting hardware?
The HDB-1-MKO is the box body only. Handy boxes take a separate handy box cover, either a blank or one cut for the device you are installing, and the cover is ordered separately from the box. Plan on cover plates and your fittings for the conduit or cable entries as additional line items on the order.
6) What does the welded construction on this Orbit handy box actually get me on the job?
The HDB-1-MKO is a welded, one-piece steel enclosure rather than a formed box relying on bent tabs at the corners. In practice that means it holds square when you are driving screws into it, pulling conductors, or servicing the device later, and it does not spring out of shape in a tool bag or on a cart.
7) I am standardizing single-gang boxes across a building. Can I use the Orbit HDB-1-MKO everywhere, or only where depth is needed?
Using the 2-1/8 inch deep HDB-1-MKO as the single standard works where the boxes are surface mounted on exposed runs, and it simplifies stocking because you only carry one box and one cover style. The limit is clearance: a deep box projects further off the wall than a standard-depth handy box, so in tight corridors or where a flush look matters, spec a shallower box at those locations.
