Thomas & Betts CIFS-3G-3/4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many devices will the Thomas & Betts CIFS-3G-3/4 FS box hold?
It is a 3-gang FS box, so it takes three devices side by side, switches, receptacles, or a mix. Wiring volume is 41 cubic inches, which is what you use for box fill calculations when you count conductors, devices, and grounds.
2) Does the CIFS-3G-3/4 FS box come with a cover and mounting screws?
No cover and no screws are supplied with the box, and no cover attachment hardware is included either. Order the 3-gang FS cover you need (device cover for switches or receptacles, or a blank) plus your mounting fasteners separately. Devices themselves screw into the box.
3) What is the difference between the Thomas & Betts CIFS-3G-3/4 and the Kraloy FSED050710 FSE box?
The CIFS-3G-3/4 is a three-gang FS box with 41 cubic inches of wiring capacity, while the Kraloy FSED050710 is a PVC one-gang deep FSE gang box. The choice comes down to gang count and body material: three device positions in the Thomas & Betts box versus a single deep gang position in the PVC Kraloy. If the drawing calls for three devices in one weatherproof enclosure, the CIFS-3G-3/4 covers it; a single switch or receptacle in a PVC conduit run is the FSED050710's role.
4) Can I feed conduit into the back of this FS box?
There is no rear inlet on the CIFS-3G-3/4, so all conduit entries come in from the sides or ends. Plan the run as a surface feed; if you need a back feed through a wall you want a different box style.
5) Is the CIFS-3G-3/4 suitable for a weatherproof outdoor location?
It is classified as a weatherproof box type under UNSPSC 39121305. Weather performance on an FS installation depends on pairing it with a gasketed weatherproof cover and sealing the conduit entries, since the box ships with no cover and is not a sealable enclosure.
6) Can a one-gang FSE box be used instead of the CIFS-3G-3/4?
Only if the opening needs one device. The CIFS-3G-3/4 is a three-gang FS box rated at 41 cubic inches, and devices mount by screwing into the box. A Kraloy FSED050710 is a one-gang deep FSE box, so substituting it means splitting a three-device layout across three separate enclosures and matching their conduit entries. For a single-device location on a PVC run it is a reasonable alternative; for a three-gang plate it is not.
7) Is this box sealable or lockable for a utility or tamper-resistant install?
Neither. The 3-gang FS box is not sealable, and it has no pipe locking feature, standard or optional. For a metered or sealed enclosure requirement you need an enclosure specifically listed as sealable.
8) How is the CIFS-3G-3/4 packed, and what does one box weigh?
Each box weighs 1.43 lbs and they are packed 10 to a carton, with the carton measuring 15.12 x 9.5 x 6.12 inches. Useful if you are staging a multi-unit or tenant fit-out and ordering by the case.
