Metallics PT30B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What gauge and length is the Metallics PT30B ground pigtail?
The PT30B is a 7 inch ground pigtail made of #14 solid bare copper. That length gives you enough tail to reach from a box-mounted grounding screw out to the device ground terminal without coiling excess wire inside a crowded box.
2) Can I use a #14 bare copper ground pigtail on a 20 amp circuit?
The PT30B is #14 solid bare copper. #14 copper is the minimum equipment grounding conductor size for a 15 amp branch circuit; a 20 amp circuit normally calls for #12. Match the pigtail gauge to the circuit your inspector is signing off on.
3) How many ground pigtails come in a box of Metallics PT30B?
They ship 100 pigtails to a box. For an electrical contractor wiring out a floor of receptacles or a multi-family rough-in, that is roughly one box per 100 devices, so counting boxes against your device count is the quick way to order.
4) Is the PT30B pigtail solid or stranded wire?
Solid. The PT30B uses #14 solid bare copper, which holds its shape when you form it into a box and seats cleanly under a screw terminal. If your job spec calls for stranded grounding conductors, this is not the part.
5) What is a ground pigtail used for in a metal box?
It bonds the device to the box. One end lands on the box grounding screw or clip, the other on the green terminal of the receptacle or switch, so the metal enclosure and the device share a grounding path back to the branch circuit EGC. The Metallics PT30B is the 7 inch #14 bare copper version of that jumper, bought by the hundred for rough-in work.
6) Does the Metallics PT30B pigtail come with a grounding screw or ring terminal?
It is bare copper wire cut to 7 inches, #14 solid. Plan on supplying your own 10-32 green grounding screws or grounding clips for the box side if your boxes are not already tapped and screwed.
