Orbit Industries 4PB Round Ceiling Pancake Switch Box

Product DescriptionThe ORBIT INDUSTRIES 4PB is a round ceiling pancake switch box designed for residential and commercial electrical wiring installations. Built from 16-gauge sheet steel, this shallow-profile box is intended for ceiling-mount applications where a low-clearance enclosure is required. It accommodates five half-inch knockouts, making it adaptable to standard conduit and cable entries. Electricians and electrical contractors install this type of box during rough-in wiring to house ceiling fixtures, junction points, or switch connections where wall depth is limited or structural framing sits close to the finished surface.The 4PB is suited for both new construction and retrofit ceiling installations in residential homes and light commercial buildings. Its pancake profile keeps the box flush or near-flush against ceiling joists or concrete surfaces, which is a common requirement in finished basement ceilings, concrete slab ceilings, and tight framing cavities. The steel construction meets standard durability expectations for an electrical enclosure in dry or damp-location ceiling installations.Key FeaturesShallow pancake profile designed for low-clearance ceiling mount applications16-gauge sheet steel construction for rigid, durable enclosureFive half-inch knockouts for flexible conduit or cable entry routing4-inch round form factor fits standard ceiling fixture canopiesSuitable for residential and light commercial wiring installationsCompatibilityDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ceiling pancake box compatible with standard 4-inch round ceiling fixture mounting configurations in residential and commercial electrical systems.Installation NotesInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local electrical codes.
