Red Dot IHEF6S2-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Red Dot 1/2 inch 6-hole flange extension actually do on an outlet box?
It adds 1/2 inch of depth to an existing box so a device, switch, terminal block or electronic component has clearance behind the cover. The Red Dot IHEF6S2-1 bolts on through a 6-hole flange, giving multiple fastening points for a solid, square seat on the box face. It is an extension ring, not a box or a cover, so you reuse your existing box and cover with it.
2) Can this Red Dot extension be used outdoors or in a wet location?
Yes. The IHEF6S2-1 is part of the Dry-tite line, rated for use in dry, damp and wet locations, so it is suitable for outdoor enclosures as well as interior work. It is UL listed under e28688.
3) Will an aluminum box extension corrode if I mount it on an exterior wall?
The casting is Alloy A380 aluminum, and the hardware is certified zinc alloy with stainless steel springs, specifically for added corrosion resistance. The silver finish adds another layer of protection. For coastal or chemically aggressive sites, standard practice is still to keep dissimilar-metal contact to a minimum at the fasteners.
4) Do I get the gasket, cover and screws with the Red Dot IHEF6S2-1, or just the extension?
The IHEF6S2-1 is sold each, and what you are buying is the 1/2 inch 6-hole flange extension itself. Plan on supplying the box, the cover and any gasket the opening calls for separately as part of the assembly.
5) I need more than 1/2 inch of depth behind a device. Is this the right part?
No. This one adds 1/2 inch only. If a deep device, a wire nut bundle or a timer body needs more room, go to a deeper extension ring or a deeper box rather than stacking. The 1/2 inch size is for small clearance corrections, not for gaining box volume.
6) Is this the same thing as a plaster ring or mud ring?
No. A plaster ring brings a recessed box flush with finished wall surface. The Red Dot 1/2 inch flange extension is a surface extension for die cast boxes and covers used in dry, damp and wet locations, mounting through a 6-hole flange onto the box face. Different job, different hardware.
7) Which Red Dot part number should I spec for a 1/2 inch 6-hole flange extension?
Order it by model IHEF6S2-1, Red Dot brand, aluminum die cast, silver. One unit per order line since it sells each.
