The angle box is made from durable black PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).
How does the angled design benefit installation?

Troubleshooting
Box does not seem secure after mounting.
Ensure appropriate screws for the mounting surface are used and tightened sufficiently. Check that the cable entry points are not putting undue stress on the box.
