The AA-EB-2170 is a low-profile, high-security outlet enclosure designed specifically for surface-mounted 2-gang electrical box applications, such as 220V dryer outlets. With a heavy-duty cam lock system and stainless steel construction, it provides reliable protection against vandalism, power theft, and tampering in communal laundry environments. The slim 1” depth allows for a secure, unobtrusive installation over existing infrastructure without requiring recessed wall modification.
This unit is available in two standard material thicknesses: 12-Gauge (Vandal Resistant) for high-risk areas requiring maximum durability, and 16-Gauge (Tamper Resistant) for lower-risk environments where incidental abuse is the primary concern. Other thicknesses are available as custom orders (please inquire).
