Minerallac 80016 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Minerallac 80016 grounding pigtail screw into a standard metal outlet box ground hole?
Yes. The 80016 pigtail comes with a #10-32 hex washer quad drive grounding screw, which is the standard thread for the tapped ground hole in steel outlet and switch boxes. Drive it with a hex driver, Phillips, square, or slotted bit, whichever is already in your hand.
2) Is a 14 AWG grounding pigtail big enough for a 15 or 20 amp branch circuit?
The 80016 uses a 14 AWG copper conductor. That matches the equipment grounding conductor size required for a 15 amp circuit. On a 20 amp circuit the EGC needs to be 12 AWG, so for 20 amp work you want a 12 AWG pigtail instead of this one.
3) Do these pigtails satisfy NEC grounding requirements for an inspection?
Minerallac states the 80016 meets 2023 NEC Article 110.4, 110.14(A)(B) and 250.8, which are the articles covering conductor use, terminations, and connection of grounding and bonding equipment. The screw-to-box connection is the method 250.8 recognizes for bonding to an enclosure.
4) How long is the Minerallac 80016 pigtail and will it reach out of a deep 4-square box?
Overall wire length is 6-1/2 inches, with 1 inch stripped bare at the free end. That leaves roughly five and a half inches of insulated lead from the box screw to the splice point, which is enough to reach into a wire nut at the front of a standard 4-square or deep device box without forcing the conductor.
5) Is the lead on this grounding pigtail insulated green wire or bare copper?
The conductor is insulated, with a 1 inch bare stripped end for the splice. So you get an insulated lead rather than bare wire running loose inside the box, which keeps the ground off the hot terminals in a crowded enclosure.
6) Can I use a grounding pigtail instead of landing the circuit ground directly on the metal box?
That is exactly what the 80016 is for. The quad drive #10-32 screw bonds the box, and the insulated 6-1/2 inch lead gets spliced with the incoming grounds and the device ground, so the box and the device are both grounded through one tested connection rather than relying on a device yoke or a looped conductor.
7) Will a 14 AWG copper grounding pigtail work in a plastic or fiberglass box?
No. The 80016 grounds through a #10-32 screw threaded into the tapped hole in a metal enclosure. Nonmetallic boxes have no tapped ground hole and do not need bonding, so you would splice the grounds directly with a wire nut instead.
8) How many Minerallac 80016 pigtails come in a pack, and are they made in the USA?
Model 80016 is sold 100 pigtails to the pack, which is how electricians buy them for a tract or rough-in job. Country of origin is the United States.
