Steel City 5836112-50R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many wires can I put in a 4 x 2-1/8 x 1-7/8 inch steel utility box?
The Steel City 5836112-50R utility box has a 13 cubic inch volume, which is what you use for NEC box fill math. Every device, clamp set, and grounding group eats into that number along with the conductors themselves, so on a single-gang switch or receptacle in 12 AWG the 13 cubic inches gets tight fast. If you are landing several splices plus a device, step up to a deeper handy box or a larger enclosure rather than forcing it.
2) Is this utility box UL listed for commercial and institutional jobs?
The Steel City handy box carries UL listing under file E2969, which is what an inspector or a spec writer will want to see on an electrical enclosure. It is also made in the United States, which matters on public work carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
3) Does a standard handy box cover fit this 4 x 2-1/8 inch box?
Yes. At 4 inches by 2-1/8 inches the face matches the standard handy box footprint, so common utility covers (blank, single toggle, single receptacle, or GFCI) bolt to the two tapped cover holes. Depth is 1-7/8 inches, so if you need more room behind the device a 2-1/8 inch deep handy box is the next step up.
4) Can I gang two of these handy boxes together for a two-gang device?
No. A drawn utility box is a one-piece body with no removable side, so it cannot be ganged. For two devices side by side use a gangable steel switch box with the sides knocked out, or a two-gang masonry or surface box. This one is a single-device enclosure.
5) Will a steel utility box like this work outdoors or in a damp location?
Not on its own. It is a plain steel box in a silver finish with open knockouts, built for dry indoor use in residential, commercial, and industrial interiors. For wet or damp locations you need a gasketed weatherproof box with threaded hubs and a matching in-use cover.
