Arlington Industries FSC3212R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I install the Arlington FSC3212R sconce box in a finished wall without opening up the drywall?
That's exactly what the FSC3212R is built for. It's a retrofit box, so it goes into an existing finished wall through a cut opening rather than being nailed to a stud during rough-in. Cut the opening, feed the cable in, and secure the box to the wallboard. Nothing behind the wall has to be touched, which is what makes it workable for occupied units and finished commercial spaces where a new-work box would mean patching and repainting.
2) How big an opening do I need to cut for the Arlington 3-1/4 inch retrofit sconce box?
Size the cut off the box body, not the flange. The FSC3212R measures 3.250 inches in height and 4.280 inches in width overall, so the wider figure is what your opening has to clear on that axis. Lay the box against the wall and trace it before you cut, since a retrofit box gets its hold from the wallboard around the opening and an oversized cut leaves it loose.
3) How many conductors can I get into a 6.8 cubic inch sconce box?
6.8 cubic inches is the usable volume of the FSC3212R, and that number is what your box fill calculation runs on. It's sized for a single sconce whip and the incoming cable, not for a splice point where several circuits meet. If you're bringing in more than one cable plus the fixture leads, run the fill numbers before you commit, because a small-diameter sconce box is the easiest place on a lighting job to end up over volume.
4) Will a plastic sconce box hold up better than metal in a damp or coastal building?
Plastic doesn't corrode, which is the practical reason to choose it over a steel box in laundry rooms, exterior-wall bathrooms, and coastal properties where steel boxes rust from the back side. The FSC3212R is a black plastic non-metallic box. The trade-off runs the other way too: a non-metallic box carries no equipment grounding path of its own, so your ground has to come through with the cable to the fixture.
5) I'm replacing sconces in an apartment building and the old boxes are the wrong size. Is a retrofit sconce box the answer or do I need to open the wall?
A retrofit box is the answer as long as the new opening can absorb the old one. The FSC3212R goes in from the face of finished wallboard, so on a fixture swap where the existing box is out of position or too small at 6.8 cubic inches of needed volume, you cut to the new box rather than demolishing back to the stud. Where the old box sits directly on a stud, that's the case where cutting a clean retrofit opening gets harder and opening the wall may still be the faster path. Check that the new sconce backplate covers the finished opening before you cut.
6) Does the black color of the Arlington sconce box show through behind a sconce with an open backplate?
Black is the right choice when it might. On a fixture with a small or perforated canopy, a white or gray box reads as a bright ring around the backplate; black recedes into the shadow behind the fixture instead. The FSC3212R is black throughout, not painted, so a nick during install doesn't expose a lighter color underneath.
7) How does the Arlington FSC3212R ship, and can I buy just one?
The FSC3212R is packaged 25 pieces to a box, which is how it's set up for crews doing a run of openings rather than a one-off replacement. At 0.190 lbs each, a full 25-count pack is light enough to carry up a ladder, so property maintenance shops standardizing on one sconce box across a portfolio can keep a pack on the truck.
