The KORA SMB20163 is a 4" × 4" × 1½" octagon electrical junction box with a 15 cubic inch capacity, featuring knockout (KO) openings for flexible conduit or cable entry. Its octagon form factor makes it well-suited for ceiling-mounted light fixture outlets, junction points, and general wiring applications in both residential and light commercial installations. Suitable for use with standard 4" octagon covers and fixture mounting brackets — confirm your cover plate or mud-ring requirements with our team if needed.
The SMB20163 has a rated capacity of 15 cubic inches. Under Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) fill calculations, each conductor is allocated a set volume based on its wire gauge — for example, 14 AWG conductors require 2.0 cu. in. each and 12 AWG require 2.25 cu. in. each. This means you can typically accommodate 7 × 14 AWG or 6 × 12 AWG conductors (including device and clamp allowances). Always perform a full fill calculation per the CEC before wiring.
The SMB20163 accepts standard 4-inch octagon covers, mud rings, and fixture-mounting brackets designed for 4" octagon boxes. These are widely available from most electrical suppliers. If you're mounting a ceiling light or fan-rated fixture, ensure the selected bracket is rated for the fixture weight. Contact our team if you need help sourcing a compatible cover or bracket.
The SMB20163 is a standard steel octagon box intended for dry or concealed indoor installations. It is not rated for wet or exposed outdoor locations on its own. For damp or wet-location applications, a weatherproof cover and appropriately rated box or enclosure would be required. If you have a specific installation environment in mind, reach out to our team and we'll help you find the right solution.
