Two-gang iron box for outdoor wiring

The Appleton FDS-2-75 is a two-gang weatherproof electrical box built from iron with a grey finish. It provides 45 cu in of internal capacity for splices and device mounting. NEC and CEC certification confirms it meets code requirements for damp and wet locations. The FDS box type suits standard conduit entries in residential and light-commercial runs.

Rugged iron housing with open mounting

Iron construction resists impact and corrosion better than non-metallic alternatives in exposed areas. No bracket or clamps are included, so the installer supplies the mounting method and cable restraints that match the conduit system. The grey enamel coating adds a layer of protection against the elements. Two gangs allow side-by-side devices or a combination device and blank cover.

Replaces smaller or non-metallic boxes

This unit steps up from single-gang or lower-capacity boxes when more wiring room or a second device is needed. The 45 cu in volume eases conductor fill limits on circuits with multiple cables or larger gauge wire. Iron is the choice when code or specification demands metallic raceway continuity. Buyers who need integral mounting brackets or non-metallic construction should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the NEC/CEC certification on this FDS-2-75 box actually cover?

The NEC/CEC certification confirms the box meets North American electrical code requirements for weatherproof installations and the listed 45 cu in capacity.

What mounting hardware is required since no bracket is included with the FDS-2-75?

You must supply your own mounting bracket and fasteners suitable for the surface; the iron box has integral mounting lugs but no bracket.

How do I correctly install the FDS-2-75 to maintain its weatherproof rating?

Use listed weatherproof fittings and gaskets on all conduit entries, seal unused openings with approved plugs, and ensure the cover gasket seats evenly when tightened.
