Carlon 1260 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I put outlet boxes on both sides of the same stud cavity in a 2-hour rated wall with the Carlon 1260?
That's the specific case this box is built for. The Carlon 1260 non-metallic box can be installed in the same stud cavity of a shared two-hour wall, so you can serve units or rooms on both faces without moving one box down the wall to a separate bay. That matters on multi-family and corridor walls where the electrician would otherwise have to offset the boxes and re-pull the branch circuit.
2) Will a non-metallic box work in a fire-rated wall, or do I need a steel box?
Non-metallic works here. The Carlon 1260 is a phenolic non-metallic box specifically applied in the same stud cavity of a shared two-hour wall, and it is UL listed under E11461. Non-metallic also means no corrosion and no need to bond the box itself, though your equipment grounding conductor still has to land on the device. Steel boxes are the alternative when your assembly listing calls for metal or when you need the box to take mechanical abuse.
3) Is the Carlon 1260 outlet box UL listed?
Yes, it carries UL listing E11461. That is the number an inspector or a spec reviewer will want to see on a fire-rated wall assembly submittal, and it is molded-in product data rather than a claim about the wall assembly itself.
4) What is the difference between a phenolic outlet box and a regular PVC plastic box?
Phenolic is a thermoset resin, not a thermoplastic like the PVC used in ordinary blue nail-on boxes, so it holds its shape under heat instead of softening. That is why the 1260 is the one specified where the box sits in a fire-rated wall, and why it is brown rather than the familiar blue. For ordinary non-rated stud walls, a standard PVC box does the job and there is no reason to pay for phenolic.
5) Is the Carlon 1260 the same as a Nutek box?
Same box. Carlon and Nutek are both carried on the brand label for the 1260, so a spec or a takeoff written for either name lands on this part. When you are matching a submittal, the manufacturer part number to quote is 1260.
6) Is the Carlon 1260 electrical box made in the USA?
Yes, the 1260 phenolic outlet box is manufactured in the United States. That is the answer for government, institutional and public-works jobs carrying domestic sourcing language in the contract.
7) Do I order the 1260 box in different sizes or colors?
One configuration only. The 1260 is sold as a single gang box at 22.5 in3 in brown phenolic, so there is no size or finish to specify on the order. Cover plates and devices are separate and are not included with the box.
