Orbit HSB-1-50 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Orbit HSB-1-50 handy box come as a single box or in a case quantity?
It ships 100 boxes to a pack. That is a case quantity aimed at contractors and MRO stockrooms doing repeat surface-wiring work, not a one-off replacement. Part number is HSB-1-50.
2) Will a standard single receptacle or switch fit the Orbit HSB-1-50?
Yes. The HSB-1-50 is a 1-gang box, so it takes one device, a single switch or a single receptacle, with the device screws landing on the box ears. For two devices side by side you need a 2-gang box instead.
3) How deep is the Orbit HSB-1-50 and is there enough room for my conductors and a device?
The body is 1-1/2 inches deep. That is the standard shallow handy box depth, fine for a single device with a couple of conduit entries, but tight if you are pulling several circuits through or using a device with a deep yoke. For heavier wire fill, step up to a deeper handy box or a 4-square.
4) Is a handy box the right choice, or should I use a 4-square box?
A handy box like the HSB-1-50 is for exposed, surface-mounted wiring where conduit runs are visible, garages, basements, utility rooms, shop walls. Its footprint is narrow and rounded so it sits cleanly on a wall surface with a matching handy box cover. If the device is going inside a finished wall, or you need more wire fill or more than one device, use a 4-square or a gangable device box instead.
5) Does the Orbit HSB-1-50 come with a cover?
No cover is included. The HSB-1-50 is the box body only, so order handy box covers separately, a blank cover, a single-receptacle cover, or a toggle switch cover to match the device you are installing. Conduit connectors are also separate.
6) What is the HSB-1-50 made of, and will it hold up in a shop or garage?
Steel body with welded seams. The welding is what matters on the job: the box won't rack or flex when you torque conduit connectors into the knockout or pull on a strap, which is the usual failure point on lighter stamped boxes. Steel is also what lets you use the box itself as part of the grounding path with a metallic conduit system.
7) Can I use the Orbit HSB-1-50 outdoors or in a wet location?
Treat it as a dry or indoor location box. It is a plain welded steel handy box, not a gasketed weatherproof enclosure, so for exterior walls or washdown areas use a cast or weatherproof box with a gasketed cover instead.
8) What is the exact part number for the Orbit 1-gang welded handy box?
HSB-1-50 from Orbit. That designation covers the 1-1/2 inch deep 1-gang welded steel body with a 1/2 inch knockout, sold 100 to a pack.
