Carlon B117RSWR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Carlon B117RSWR box be installed in an existing wall without opening the drywall?
That's exactly what it's built for. The B117RSWR is an old work box: you cut the opening, feed the cable in, drop the box through, and tighten the swing clamps so they rotate out behind the wallboard and pull the box tight against the back face. Mounting ears bear on the front of the drywall. No stud contact and no access from behind are needed.
2) Is 17 cubic inches enough for a single receptacle with a couple of 12/2 cables?
For most single-device retrofits, yes. The B117RSWR is a 17 cubic inch single gang box, and NEC box fill counts 2.25 cu in per 12 AWG conductor: two 12/2 cables plus a receptacle works out to roughly 13.5 cu in of fill, leaving headroom. Three 12/2 cables on the same device push you close to the limit, so count your conductors before committing.
3) Is this Carlon box rated for NM (Romex) cable, or do I need a metal box?
Non-metallic sheathed cable is the intended application. The box is designed and listed for use with NM cable in accordance with Article 314. Since it is PVC, there is no bonding requirement for the box itself, though your equipment grounding conductor still has to land on the device or a ground screw. If you are pulling armored cable or EMT, use a metal box instead.
4) Should I use an old work swing clamp box or a new work nail-on box?
It comes down to whether the wall is open. Nail-on boxes fasten to a stud face and are the choice during framing. The B117RSWR mounts to the wallboard itself with ears and swing clamps, which is what you want when the drywall is already up and you're cutting into a finished wall, or when the device location doesn't land next to a stud.
5) Will a standard receptacle or switch and cover plate fit this Carlon box?
Yes. It is a one-gang box on standard device spacing, so any standard duplex receptacle, toggle or decorator switch, and matching one-gang wall plate mounts to it with the usual 6-32 device screws.
6) Can I gang two of these Carlon old work boxes together for a two-gang opening?
No. PVC old work boxes of this style are single gang and non-gangable, with no removable side walls. For a two-device opening, order a two-gang old work box sized for the fill you need rather than trying to join two 17 cubic inch single gang boxes.
7) Is the Carlon B117RSWR made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. The box carries the Carlon / Nutek brand label, manufacturer part number B117RSWR. That matters on public works and institutional jobs with domestic sourcing requirements on the spec.
8) What does the blue color on Carlon boxes mean on the job?
Blue is Carlon's identification color for its non-metallic device boxes, and on a rough-in it simply makes the box easy to spot for the electrician and the inspector. It carries no rating implication on its own; the NM cable listing under Article 314 is what governs the application.
