Utility box, also commonly referred to as a handy box, is an electrical enclosure used in electrical installations to house and protect electrical wiring connections, switches, outlets, or other electrical devices. These boxes come in various shapes and sizes and are typically made of metal or plastic, depending on the application and location.

1. Shape and Size: Utility boxes or handy boxes come in different shapes, including square, rectangular, and octagonal. They are available in various sizes to accommodate different wiring needs and device types. The size is typically determined by the dimensions of the box and its depth.

2. Material: These boxes can be made from metal (such as steel) or plastic, depending on the specific application and environmental conditions. Metal boxes provide durability and may be used in a wider range of settings, including outdoor installations, while plastic boxes are often used for indoor applications.

3. Conduit Connections: Utility boxes are designed to work with conduit systems, such as EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) or PVC conduit. They have knockout holes or threaded hubs on multiple sides, allowing for conduit entry from different directions. This flexibility in conduit connections makes them versatile for various installation scenarios.
