Arlington Industries FSC405R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many wires can I legally put in a 5 cu. in. sconce box?
Five cubic inches is the working volume of the FSC405R, and box fill is counted by conductor size, not by wire count alone. In practical terms that is a small-fixture box: it is sized for landing a fixture whip onto an incoming branch circuit, not for splicing a feed-through with extra travelers and devices. If your cut-in point has several cables passing through, size up to a deeper box rather than forcing the fill.
2) Does the Arlington FSC405R sconce box come with a ground screw or grounding clip?
No grounding clip is packed with it. The FSC405R is a non-metallic box, so it has no metal to bond, but where the job or inspector calls for a grounding means Arlington sells the clip separately as part number FSC405RGC. Order it on the same line if you need it, because it is not in the box.
3) Will a low profile sconce box work in a wall with shallow stud cavity or insulation behind it?
That is the point of the low profile design. The FSC405R trades interior volume for depth, so it takes up less of the cavity than a standard round old-work box. Where you are cutting into a furred-out wall, a wall with rigid insulation behind the board, or anywhere a full-depth box would hit an obstruction, this is the box to use. The trade-off is the 5 cubic inch capacity, so keep the splice count low.
4) Will the black box show through the gap around a sconce canopy?
Black is the reason to pick it. The FSC405R is molded in black plastic so that any sliver visible between the fixture canopy and the wall reads as shadow instead of a white plastic ring. On dark or glass-backed sconces where the canopy does not seal tight to the drywall, that matters more than it sounds.
5) Should I use a non-metallic sconce box or a metal one for a wall light?
Non-metallic is the simpler install for a retrofit sconce. The FSC405R plastic body will not corrode, needs no bonding of the box itself, and cuts in with a hole saw. Reach for a metal box instead when the fixture is heavy enough to need a fan-rated or bar-hanger support, when the wiring method is metal-clad or conduit that has to terminate in a listed metal connector, or when the fixture manufacturer requires the box to carry the ground path. For a standard light-weight wall sconce fed with NM cable, the plastic box is the right call.
6) If I am doing a whole building of sconces, how do these come packaged?
Standard packaging is 10 pieces, sold as single units. For a multi-unit residential or hospitality job where you are hanging the same sconce in every room, that is the count to plan your takeoff around. Each box weighs 0.102 lbs, so a full case is negligible weight to carry up a floor.
7) Is the Arlington FSC405R made in the USA?
Yes, it is manufactured in the United States. For government, healthcare, and other institutional specs that carry a domestic sourcing requirement, that is the box to put on the submittal.
