Metallics PT408FS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size and length is the Metallics PT408FS ground pigtail?
The PT408FS is an 8 inch pigtail made from #12 solid copper with green insulation, terminated with a spade (fork) end on one side. The 8 inch length is enough to reach from a device ground screw back to the box ground point in a standard outlet or switch box.
2) Does the PT408FS pigtail have a spade end or a ring terminal?
Spade. The fork-style terminal on the PT408FS slips under a loosened green ground screw without removing the screw, which is faster on device and box grounding than a closed ring terminal that has to be threaded over the screw.
3) Is the PT408FS pigtail solid or stranded wire?
Solid. Solid #12 copper holds its shape when you fold the device back into the box, which is what most inspectors and electricians expect in a steel or plastic device box. If your spec calls for stranded for flexibility, this is not the right part.
4) How many ground pigtails come in a box of Metallics PT408FS?
Each box holds 100 pigtails, packaged as a box rather than a bag or bulk carton. For electricians rough-trimming a multi-family or tenant-improvement job, one box covers 100 device boxes.
5) What is a ground pigtail used for in an outlet box?
A pigtail like the PT408FS bonds a device or metal box to the circuit's equipment grounding conductor. The spade end goes under the green grounding screw on the receptacle, switch, or box bonding screw, and the free #12 copper end is spliced with the incoming grounds in a wire connector. It saves cutting and stripping a jumper on site.
