Greenlee 28157 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes does the Greenlee Slug-Splitter SC round knockout die come in?
Five trade sizes cover 3/4 inch through 2 inch: 3/4 inch (28157), 1 inch (28159), 1-1/4 inch (28161), 1-1/2 inch (28163) and 2 inch (28165). Those are the conduit trade sizes, so the hole each one cuts accepts the matching conduit fitting or connector rather than measuring that diameter across the cut.
2) Will a Slug-Splitter SC knockout die punch stainless steel enclosures?
Yes. The Slug-Splitter SC round dies are rated to punch material up through 10 gauge stainless steel, which covers the usual stainless panel and enclosure work as well as thinner mild steel and aluminum boxes. Anything heavier than 10 ga stainless is past the rated capacity.
3) Do these Greenlee dies work with a battery hydraulic knockout driver, or do I need a manual ram?
Both work. The Slug-Splitter SC dies are built for use with battery-powered, hydraulic, and ram-style knockout drivers, so the same die set runs off a cordless punch tool or a hand-pump hydraulic ram.
4) Is the Greenlee 28157 a complete punch and die set or just one piece?
The 28157 is the 3/4 inch round knockout die in Greenlee's Slug-Splitter SC line, sold as a single size. If you need to cover a range of conduit openings on one job, order the individual sizes you need: 1 inch (28159), 1-1/4 inch (28161), 1-1/2 inch (28163), 2 inch (28165). A driver and draw stud are separate tooling.
5) Will a round knockout die work for a square or rectangular connector cutout?
No. The Slug-Splitter SC in this size range is a round configuration only, producing a clean round hole for conduit fittings, connectors and enclosure hardware. For square cutouts or rectangular device openings you need a square or rectangular punch and die rather than this round family.
6) Which knockout die size do I order for 1-1/4 inch EMT?
Order the 1-1/4 inch die, Greenlee 28161. Knockout dies are called out by conduit trade size, so a 1-1/4 inch die cuts the opening that a 1-1/4 inch EMT connector or fitting seats into.
7) What does the self-centering feature on the Slug-Splitter SC actually do on the job?
The SC design holds the die centered on the pilot hole you drill for the draw stud, so the punch does not wander off center as it bites. That matters most on panel fabrication where several holes have to line up with a connector pattern, and it cuts setup time compared with eyeballing the alignment on each hole.
8) Are Greenlee Slug-Splitter SC dies made in the USA? We have domestic sourcing requirements.
Yes, the Slug-Splitter SC round knockout dies are manufactured in the United States, which is what institutional and government buyers with domestic preference language usually need confirmed before they issue the PO.
