Thomas & Betts 5710 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Thomas & Betts 5710 knockout plug used for?
The Thomas & Betts 5710 is a neoprene knockout plug, used to close off an unused knockout opening in a steel outlet box, panel, or enclosure so the opening is sealed rather than left open. It is a conduit plug made of neoprene, so it seats by compression in the hole instead of threading in like a steel plug.
2) Is the 5710 a rubber plug or a threaded metal one?
It is rubber, not metal. The 5710 is molded neoprene, so it pushes into the knockout and holds by the elasticity of the material. If a job calls for a threaded closure plug in a hub, or a metal plug for grounding continuity across the opening, this is not the right part.
3) What part number do I order for the Thomas & Betts neoprene KO plug?
Order Thomas & Betts model 5710. That is the manufacturer part number for the neoprene knockout plug, and it is the only model in the line, so there are no finish or size options to specify alongside it.
4) Does the Thomas & Betts 5710 plug need any other hardware to install?
No locknut, bushing, or sealant is needed. The 5710 is a one-piece neoprene plug that seats in the knockout by hand, which is why electricians keep a handful in the pouch for closing up spare openings during trim-out and MRO panel work.
5) Can I use a neoprene knockout plug outdoors or in a damp location?
Neoprene stands up to moisture and oils better than natural rubber, which is why it is used for this kind of closure. That said, the 5710 is a plain neoprene knockout plug with no wet-location or enclosure-type rating behind it, so for a raintight or wet-location enclosure use a sealing plug with a gasket and the rating your inspector is looking for.
