Switches and receptacles on insulated exterior walls leak air unless the box itself is sealed. The Arlington F101FGC is a single-gang ONE-BOX™ vapour box for devices: it screws to a wood or steel stud, and its gasketed flange seals to the air barrier. With 22 cu in of space and a grounding clip, it is a device box for walls, not a ceiling fan or fixture box.
Why electricians pick it
- Flange with installed gasket forms a barrier against air infiltration at outlets and switches.
- Screw-on mounting to wood or steel studs.
- 22 cu in single-gang body for switches, receptacles and GFCIs.
- Arlington lists a 2-hour fire rating.
- Includes two NM94 connectors, knockout gaskets, flange gasket and two #6 x 1-5/8 in screws.

Pro tip from the counter
Arlington tells Canadian buyers to order the GC suffix, which adds a grounding clip to the non-metallic box. Have your electrician land the bonding conductor on that clip so there is a proper termination point in a plastic box when a metal plate or device yoke goes on.
Best for: receptacles and switches on exterior walls, air-tight new builds, Energy Star and high-performance homes, insulated garage and basement walls
