Thomas & Betts CIFSU-1/2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many cubic inches is the Thomas & Betts CIFSU-1/2 FS box, and how many conductors will it take?
The CIFSU-1/2 FS box has 18.5 cubic inches of capacity. That figure is what you run your NEC box fill calculation against, so count every current-carrying conductor, device yoke, clamp and ground in the box before you commit to it on a multi-gang or multi-circuit pull.
2) What size are the hubs on the Thomas & Betts CIFSU-1/2 box?
The 1/2 in the CIFSU-1/2 designation is the hub size, so it takes 1/2 inch threaded conduit. Order the matching 1/2 inch fittings or rigid/IMC conduit for the runs coming into it.
3) Does the Thomas & Betts CIFSU-1/2 come with a cover?
No cover is included. The CIFSU-1/2 ships as the box body only, with no cover and no cover attachment hardware, so you order the FS cover separately to suit the device going in, whether that is a single receptacle, duplex, toggle switch or a blank.
4) Can I use the CIFSU-1/2 FS box outdoors or in a wet location?
The CIFSU-1/2 is classified as a weatherproof box, but the box body alone does not make the installation weatherproof. It is not a sealable box on its own and it ships with no cover or gasket, so the weather rating of the finished assembly depends on pairing it with the correct gasketed weatherproof FS cover for the device.
5) Are mounting screws included with the CIFSU-1/2 FS box?
No screws come in the box. The CIFSU-1/2 is supplied without screws, and the device inside mounts by screwing into the box's tapped device ears, so have your device screws and your mounting fasteners on the truck.
6) Does the Thomas & Betts CIFSU-1/2 have a back entry knockout?
No rear inlet. Conduit enters the CIFSU-1/2 from the sides and ends only, so if your feed comes straight out of the wall behind the box you will need to offset it into a side hub rather than bring it through the back.
7) Is the CIFSU-1/2 a flush box or a surface mount box?
FS boxes like the CIFSU-1/2 are surface mount device boxes fed by threaded conduit, typically used on exposed work in plants, parking structures, mechanical rooms and exterior walls. If you need a box buried in a stud wall behind drywall, an FS box is the wrong choice and you want a standard flush device box instead.
