Thomas & Betts 4-OD-SPL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and depth is the Thomas & Betts 4-OD-SPL octagon outlet box?
The 4-OD-SPL is a 4 inch octagon outlet box with a 2-1/8 inch depth. The extra depth over a shallow 1-1/2 inch octagon box matters when you are stuffing several conductors, a fixture stud, and a splice into the same box, so it is the one to reach for on a ceiling fixture location with multiple circuits passing through.
2) Is the 4-OD-SPL box meant for a ceiling light or fixture location?
Yes, it is classified as a ceiling box. A 4 inch octagon at 2-1/8 inch deep is the standard mounting point for a ceiling luminaire or a junction point above a finished ceiling. If you are mounting a paddle fan, use a box specifically listed for fan support instead, since a general purpose outlet box is not a fan-rated box.
3) Is the Thomas & Betts 4-OD-SPL box made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on public and federally funded work where domestic sourcing is written into the spec, and it is worth noting on the submittal. The box is part of the Steel City boxes and accessories line.
4) What does drawn mean on the Thomas & Betts 4 inch octagon outlet box?
Drawn means the box body is formed from a single piece of steel rather than welded up from separate sides, so there are no seams at the corners. Contractors generally prefer a drawn box where the box may be exposed to dust or moisture intrusion through a corner seam, and it holds its shape better when it gets knocked around during rough-in.
5) Is the 4-OD-SPL outlet box sold individually or by the carton?
It is sold each, so one box per unit ordered. If you are rough-in on a multi-unit job and need a hundred ceiling locations, order the quantity outright rather than counting on carton multiples.
