About this product

The Potter BBK1 is a 4in square weatherproof bell back box for indoor or outdoor applications. In outdoor or wet installations, the bell must be mounted with weatherproof backbox, BBK1 or BBX1.

The unit mounts on a standard 4in (101mm) square electrical box for indoor use or on a model BBK-1 weatherproof backbox or BBX-1 deep weatherproof backbox for outdoor applications.
