Thomas & Betts FS3-TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the FS3-TB a dead end box or does conduit pass through it?
Dead end. The FS3-TB terminates a run, with hubs on one end only, so it is the box you use at the last device on a branch. If conduit has to continue past the device, you want a through-feed FS body instead.
2) Is the Thomas & Betts FS3-TB a single gang box?
One gang. It holds a single device, a switch or a receptacle, behind an FS style cover. For two devices in the same body you need a two gang FD or FS box, not this one.
3) What is the FS3-TB box made of, and can it go outdoors or in a damp area?
The body is iron. Cast iron FS bodies are the standard choice for exposed conduit work in wet and damp locations and in shops and parking structures where a stamped steel box would get knocked around, provided you pair it with a gasketed cover and the correct fittings for the location.
4) What is the difference between a shallow FS box and a deep FD box?
Depth, and it decides whether your device and conductors fit. The FS3-TB is the shallow version, which is fine for a straight switch or receptacle on a 1 inch run. When you are packing in a GFCI, a device with a large yoke, or several conductors and splices, electricians step up to the deeper FD body of the same gang and hub size for the extra cubic inches.
5) Does the FS3-TB come with a cover?
The FS3-TB is the box body only. Covers are ordered separately and chosen to match the device: a single gang switch cover, a duplex receptacle cover, or a blank, in most cases with a gasket for exposed or damp locations. Mounting screws for the cover come with the cover, not the body.
6) What is the exact part number to order this Thomas & Betts shallow FS box?
Order it as Thomas & Betts FS3-TB. That single designation covers the 1 inch hub, one gang, shallow, dead end iron body, so there are no handing, finish, or size options to specify with it.
