Steel City 4SQ Tile Cover 2G Outlet Box Cover

Five raised surface depths are offered on the Steel City 52 C 52 two-gang tile cover: 1/4 inch (52 C 52 1 1/4), 1/2 inch (52 C 52 1/2), 5/8 inch (52 C 52 5/8), 3/4 inch (52 C 52 3/4) and 1 inch (52 C 52 1). Pick the depth that matches how far the box is set back behind the finished wall surface so the device sits flush with the plaster or tile face.

Yes. The 52 C 52 is a 4 inch square steel cover, so it lands on the standard 4 inch square (4S) box ears used throughout commercial work. It is the two-gang configuration, meaning it brings the 4 inch square opening down to two device openings.

Measure from the front edge of the 4 inch square box to the finished wall face. That gap is the raised depth you order. On tile over backer the setback is usually deeper, which is why the 52 C 52 runs all the way to a 1 inch raise; over thin plaster or drywall the 1/4 or 1/2 inch versions are the usual picks. Too shallow and the device sits below the surface, too deep and the plate stands proud of the tile.

Two-gang. The 52 C 52 takes a 4 inch square box and presents two device openings, so it suits a duplex receptacle beside a switch, two switches, or any paired device combination. If you only need one device on a 4 inch square box you want a single-gang raised cover instead.

Stock several. The 52 C 52 family differs only by raised surface depth, and depth is dictated by the wall assembly, not the device. Buildings mixing drywall, plaster and tile will need more than one of the five depths (1/4, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 and 1 inch). The box, device and plate stay the same across all of them, so only the cover part number changes.

It is steel with a silver finish. In a tile or plaster wall only the face and device openings show, with the finish plate covering it, so the steel body is doing structural duty behind the wall rather than being a visible trim piece.
