Metallics SLSP50 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are Metallics SLSP50 Quick Fix spacers used for on a wiring device?
They shim a receptacle or switch out of a recessed wallbox so the device sits flush with the finished wall surface. Stacking them fills the gap behind the mounting ears, which keeps the device supported against the box and stops faceplates from cracking when the screws are tightened. Model SLSP50 from Metallics.
2) Can I stack Quick Fix spacers to make up a deeper gap behind a receptacle?
Yes, that is how they are meant to work. The spacers are stackable, so you add layers until the device ears land flat and the yoke is solid against the box. Build the stack on both the top and bottom screws so the device sits square and the faceplate seats without being forced.
3) Do Metallics Quick Fix spacers meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
No. The SLSP50 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing language in the spec, this part will not qualify.
4) Why are the Quick Fix spacers green, and does green mean they are a ground part?
No. The green color is specifically chosen to disassociate the spacer from any notion of an earth-ground connection. The spacer is molded polyethylene, a nonconductive plastic, so it plays no role in bonding or grounding the device.
5) How many Metallics SLSP50 spacers come in a pack?
The SLSP50 ships as a 50-piece clamshell, and 50 each is the order minimum. For an electrical contractor or MRO stock room doing device trim-out across a building, that is one pack per bin rather than a loose count.
6) Are these spacers plastic or metal, and will they crack in a tight box?
Polyethylene, not metal. PE flexes rather than shattering, which is why these are used to take up slack behind a device instead of a stack of metal washers, and it is also why they will not carry current.
7) What is the packaged size and weight of the Metallics SLSP50 clamshell?
The 50-piece clamshell measures 8.577 x 3.847 x 1.4 inches and weighs 0.38 lbs. It hangs on a pegboard or drops in a van drawer without taking a full bin.
