Thomas & Betts OWC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Thomas & Betts OWC old work box support clip actually do?
The OWC is a steel support clip for securing an old work (retrofit) electrical box in an existing wall where there is no stud to screw to. It grips the drywall edge so the box pulls tight against the wallboard instead of floating in the cutout. It is an accessory only, not a box, and it carries no knockouts.
2) Is the OWC clip UL listed?
Yes. The Thomas & Betts OWC support clip is covered under UL file E13938, which is what an inspector or institutional spec reviewer will want to see on a retrofit box installation.
3) Is the old work box clip metal or plastic?
Steel. That matters on a remodel where you are pulling a heavy device or an old cast box tight to the wallboard, since a steel clip will not flex or creep the way a plastic ear does.
4) Are the OWC clips sold in pairs or individually?
The OWC is sold each, so for a typical retrofit box that needs a clip on both sides of the cutout, order two per box. Count the openings on the job and double it.
5) Are Thomas & Betts OWC clips made in the USA?
Yes, the OWC support clip is manufactured in the United States, which is the answer government and institutional buyers need for domestic-sourcing requirements on a bid.
6) Where can I get the manufacturer spec sheet for the Thomas & Betts OWC clip?
Thomas & Betts publishes a PDF spec sheet for the OWC clip at https://media.distributordatasolutions.com/ThomasAndBetts/2018q3/f1221109e3d6d6351c661a72de1141a47b181111.pdf. Submittal packages on commercial remodels usually want it attached alongside the box itself.
