Carlon 5060 BROWN-50R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size Carlon non-metallic surface mount box do I need for the wire count I'm running?
Carlon's surface mount non-metallic boxes come in four cubic-inch capacities: a round box at 3.8 cu in, a 1-gang at 9.8 cu in, a 1-gang at 14 cu in, and a 2-gang at 23.8 cu in. Cubic inches are what your box fill calculation works against, so pick from the volume, not the gang count. The 3.8 cu in round box is a small splice or fixture-canopy box, not somewhere to land a device plus several conductors. If you are landing a device with a few 12 AWG circuit conductors and grounds, the 14 cu in 1-gang gives you real room; the 9.8 cu in version is tight. Two devices go in the 23.8 cu in 2-gang.
2) Do these Carlon surface mount boxes come with knockouts, or do I have to make my own openings?
Zero knockouts. Every one of these Carlon boxes ships as a closed shell, so you cut your own entry wherever the run comes in. That is an advantage on surface work, where a factory knockout in the wrong spot leaves an open hole you have to plug. It is extra labor if you were expecting to punch a tab and go. Plan on a hole saw or knife sized to your connector, and bring your own cable clamps or connectors, since a zero-knockout box has no factory-prepped opening to accept them.
3) I need to bond a metal raceway to a Carlon non-metallic box. Does that work?
Not through the box. A non-metallic box carries no equipment ground and provides electrical isolation by design, so it cannot serve as the bonding path the way a steel box does. Your equipment grounding conductor has to be run and spliced inside the box, then landed on the device or fixture directly. If the design depends on the raceway itself as the ground path, a non-metallic box is the wrong choice and you want a metal surface box instead.
4) Can I use a Carlon non-metallic box on a concrete or masonry wall where I can't cut in a recessed box?
That is the case surface mount boxes exist for. These Carlon boxes mount flat to the finished surface with no recessed cavity or rough-in prep, so block, brick, concrete, and finished walls you are not allowed to open up all work. Fasten to the substrate with the appropriate anchor for that material, then bring your raceway or cable into an opening you cut. The non-metallic body also means no corrosion path where a metal box would rust against damp masonry.
5) What colors do Carlon surface mount boxes come in, and can I get every size in every color?
Three colors across the range, but not on every size. Brown is the broadest, covering the 9.8 cu in and 14 cu in 1-gang, the 23.8 cu in 2-gang, and the round box. White is offered on the 14 cu in 1-gang and the round box. Ivory is offered on the 23.8 cu in 2-gang and the round box. So if you need a 2-gang, your choices are brown or ivory; if you need white, that is the 14 cu in 1-gang or the round. Surface boxes stay visible after the job, so this matters on finished spaces where a property manager wants the boxes to disappear against the trim.
6) Which Carlon part number is the 2-gang surface mount box?
Two 2-gang options, both at 23.8 cubic inches: model 5072 in brown and 5072 in ivory. The 1-gang boxes are the 5060 at 9.8 cu in and the 5070 at 14 cu in, and the round box is the 5080 at 3.8 cu in. Those base numbers are what to quote when matching an existing installation, with the color and pack format appended.
7) Can I put a standard switch or receptacle in a Carlon 5070 surface mount box?
Yes, the 1-gang boxes take a standard device. The 5070 at 14 cubic inches and the 5060 at 9.8 cubic inches each accept one device, and the 5072 at 23.8 cubic inches takes two. The 5080 round box is a 3.8 cubic inch box, which is splice and fixture territory rather than a device box. Watch your fill on the 9.8 cu in 5060 if you are running 12 AWG with a device and grounds, since the device itself counts against the volume.
8) What is the difference between the 50-pack reel Carlon boxes and the single-pack ones?
Same box, different packaging. The 9.8 cu in and 14 cu in brown 1-gang boxes are sold on 50-pack reels, which is how a contractor buys them for a tract or multi-unit job where you are setting the same box dozens of times. The white 14 cu in, both 2-gang boxes, and all three round boxes are single packs, for service work and one-off replacements. If you are standardizing a whole building on one box, the reel is the format to order.
9) Are Carlon surface mount electrical boxes made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on these Carlon boxes is the United States, which is the answer a government, school, or federally funded project needs on the submittal. They carry the Carlon / Nutek brand label. For a formal Buy American or BABA certification your specifying authority will want it in writing from the manufacturer, but the origin itself is US.
