Metallics PTS40 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size and length is the Metallics PTS40 ground pigtail?
The PTS40 is a 7 inch ground pigtail made from #12 stranded insulated copper. That length gives you enough slack to land one end on the box ground screw and splice the other into the branch-circuit ground bundle inside a standard device box.
2) Is the Metallics PTS40 pigtail stranded or solid copper?
Stranded copper, insulated. Stranded is easier to dress into a crowded box and work around a device, which is why electricians reach for it on grounding jumpers rather than solid.
3) How many ground pigtails come in a pack of Metallics PTS40?
The PTS40 is packed 50 pigtails to a clamshell, so it suits a rough-in crew or an MRO stockroom doing repeated device replacements rather than a one-off repair.
4) What is a ground pigtail actually used for in a device box?
It is a short pre-cut grounding jumper. One end bonds to the metal box or the device ground screw, the other splices into the circuit grounding conductors with a wirenut or crimp, so the box and the device are both bonded without cutting and stripping a length off the roll. The PTS40 gives you 7 inches of #12 stranded insulated copper per piece.
5) Will the Metallics PTS40 pigtail work with a standard 10-32 box ground screw?
A #12 conductor is within the range a 10-32 grounding screw in a steel device box is designed to take, which is the standard thread for box grounding screws. The PTS40 is #12 stranded copper, so it lands on that screw or on the green ground screw of a receptacle or switch.
