Thomas & Betts FN-426-C-V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the FN-426-C-V ceiling box come with knockouts for conduit or cable entry?
No. The box ships with zero knockouts, so every entry point is one you make yourself with the connector or fitting the job calls for. That is deliberate on a vapor-tight box: unused factory knockouts are leak paths, and on a non-metallic box you drill only where you need it and seal the entry with the appropriate listed watertight connector. Plan on supplying those fittings separately.
2) Can I use a polycarbonate ceiling box like this in a damp or wet location such as a parking garage or a shower area?
That is the point of it. The FN-426-C-V is a vapor-tight fixture box in polycarbonate, so the body will not corrode the way a steel box does in humid or washdown environments, and the sealed design keeps moisture off the splices. It is used for ceiling fixture mounting in commercial, industrial, and multi-unit lighting. The location listing still depends on the fixture and the connectors you use at each entry, so match those to the same damp or wet rating.
3) Is this Thomas & Betts vapor-tight ceiling box UL listed?
Yes. The FN-426-C-V carries UL listing under file e11461, which is the point an inspector will ask about on a non-metallic fixture box in a damp location.
4) Do I need a separate ground when using a non-metallic ceiling box?
Yes. Polycarbonate is non-conductive, so the FN-426-C-V cannot serve as part of the equipment grounding path the way a metal box can. Bring the equipment grounding conductor through and bond it directly to the fixture. Also note the box has no knockouts, so there is no metal raceway path to rely on either.
5) Should I use a vapor-tight box or a standard ceiling box for lighting in a cold or unconditioned space?
Where warm interior air can reach a fixture opening in an insulated ceiling below an attic or an unheated space, a vapor-tight box like the FN-426-C-V is the right call: it keeps moisture-laden air from migrating through the opening and condensing in the cavity. A standard steel or plastic ceiling box has open knockouts and does nothing for air sealing. Inside a conditioned space with no vapor barrier concern, a standard box is fine and cheaper to install.
6) Is the Thomas & Betts FN-426-C-V sold individually or in a case?
It is sold each, so order one per opening. The model number to specify is FN-426-C-V.
7) What color is the FN-426-C-V and will it show below a fixture canopy?
Black. On most ceiling installs the fixture canopy covers the box entirely, and where a sliver shows, black reads less than a bare steel or white box against a dark ceiling or an open joist bay.
