Metallics PT4015 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What gauge and conductor type is the Metallics PT4015 ground pigtail?
The PT4015 is a 15 inch ground pigtail made from #12 solid insulated copper. Solid conductor rather than stranded, so it holds its form when you dress it into the back of a box, and #12 is the size that pairs with 20 amp branch circuit wiring.
2) Can I use the PT4015 pigtail to bond a metal box to a receptacle?
That is the job it is built for. The pigtail is #12 solid insulated copper, so one end lands on the box grounding screw or clip and the other on the device's green equipment ground terminal, tying the box and the device together on the branch circuit equipment grounding conductor. Use it where the box and device each need their own ground termination rather than sharing a single splice.
3) How many ground pigtails come in a pack of Metallics PT4015?
Each pack of PT4015 contains 25 pigtails. That makes it a rough-in quantity rather than a single-device buy, so electricians trimming out a run of boxes order by the pack.
4) Is 15 inches long enough for a ground pigtail in a standard device box?
Yes. At 15 inches the PT4015 gives you enough length to reach from the box ground screw or grounding clip out to the device terminal with slack to fold the conductor back, which is what the 15 inch length is intended for. Shorter pigtails get tight once you have to loop the wire around a screw terminal.
5) Is the Metallics PT4015 pigtail insulated or bare copper?
Insulated. The PT4015 is insulated copper, not bare wire, so it can be run inside a crowded box alongside circuit conductors without the ground making contact where you do not want it. If your spec calls for a bare bonding jumper, this is not that part.
6) Will a #12 solid pigtail work with wire nuts and push-in connectors sized for #14 to #12?
Yes, the PT4015 is a #12 solid conductor, so it falls within the range of connectors rated for #14 through #12 solid copper. Count the pigtail as one #12 solid conductor when you check the connector's fill rating along with the circuit grounds already in the splice.
