Ideal Industries 30-3399 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly comes in the Ideal 30-3399 grounding tail box of 100?
Each piece is an 8-inch length of 12 AWG solid copper-size wire with a pre-formed loop on one end, a ground screw already on it, and the opposite end stripped and ready to land. Ideal sells them 100 to a box under part number 30-3399, so a single box covers 100 device boxes or outlets.
2) What screwdriver do I need for the ground screw on these Ideal pigtails?
Whatever is already on your belt. The thread-forming ground screw has a combination head that takes slotted, Phillips, hex, or a #2 Robertson driver, so a crew running different drivers can all land the same part.
3) Does using a grounding tail like this keep me code compliant?
The 30-3399 tail is built to the grounding requirements of NEC Article 250. The pigtail lets you bond the metal box and carry a separate ground to the device rather than relying on the device yoke to pass the ground through, which is the usual reason inspectors want a tail in the first place.
4) Is 8 inches of tail long enough to reach out of a deep metal box?
Eight inches is the free length of the Ideal grounding tail, measured from the ground screw to the stripped end. That is set against the NEC minimum of 6 inches of free conductor at an outlet box, so it leaves a little working slack to fold behind a device in a standard box. In an unusually deep box or a ganged box where the screw lands far from the device, splice it into the box ground with a wirenut rather than stretching it.
5) Can I use this in a plastic device box?
There is nothing to bond in a nonmetallic box, so the ground screw has no hole to thread into. The Ideal tail is meant for a metal box or metal enclosure where the thread-forming screw bites the tapped 10-32 ground hole and the stripped end lands on the device. In a plastic box you just splice grounds together with a wirenut instead.
6) Why buy pre-made grounding tails instead of cutting and stripping my own?
Labor. Each 30-3399 piece arrives cut to 8 inches, stripped, looped, and with the thread-forming screw already fitted, so the electrician goes straight to driving the screw in the box. For a trim-out with 100 devices, that removes 100 cut-strip-loop operations, which is why the part ships 100 to a box for contractors and MRO stock.
7) Where do electricians actually use these grounding tails?
Device-level grounding: receptacle and switch trim-out, panel grounding, and general metal-box bonding in residential, commercial, and industrial work. Ideal lists the 30-3399 for exactly those applications, which is why it is stocked in bulk by electrical contractors and facility maintenance groups.
