This 4 in (102 mm) round pancake electrical box is a shallow steel ceiling pan box used where mounting depth is limited. It is typically selected for light fixtures and similar wall or ceiling device installations that do not require a deep outlet box.
Use for
Surface or shallow cavity mounting for ceiling or wall luminaires
Retrofit work where only 1/2 in (13 mm) box depth is available
Applications needing 1/2 in trade-size knockouts for conduit entry
Avoid for
Ceiling fan support unless the box is specifically fan-rated
Installations requiring larger conductor fill or device depth
Applications needing integral cable clamps when not provided on the box
Best for
Best for electricians needing a low-profile steel fixture box for shallow ceiling or wall points. A pancake box is commonly used when a standard octagon box would project too far or will not fit the available space.
Installed in
Typically installed in residential, commercial, and light industrial branch circuit work for fixture outlets, especially where framing, masonry, or finished surfaces limit box depth.
Why this product exists
This product exists to provide a code-accepted shallow steel outlet box option for fixture mounting where space is tight. Compared with deeper round or octagon boxes, it helps maintain a lower profile while still providing wiring space for suitable applications.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a standard 4 in octagon box, a pancake box offers much less depth and lower wiring capacity, but it fits tighter spaces. Typical trade guidance is to use shallow pan boxes for lighter fixture outlet applications where conductor count is limited. Actual performance depends on installation conditions, conductor size, fittings, and local electrical code.
