Steel City 54571 3/4 1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Steel City 54571 octagonal box outdoors or in a wet location?
No. The 54571 3/4 1 octagon is not weatherproof, so keep it to dry interior walls and ceilings. For an exterior canopy, soffit or any damp or wet location you need a weatherproof or cast box with gasketed cover and threaded hubs instead.
2) Is the Steel City 54571 octagonal box UL listed for an inspected commercial job?
It carries UL listing E2969. For a facility or institutional job where the inspector wants a listed metallic outlet box, that is the file number to reference.
3) Does the Steel City 54571 box come with knockouts for conduit, or do I have to punch it?
Knockouts are already formed in the 54571 3/4 1 box, so no field punching. The box is drawn steel, meaning the body is formed from one piece with no welded seams, which is what you want for a clean drive of EMT connectors and for grounding continuity.
4) Will a standard 4 inch octagon cover or round fixture canopy fit this box?
Yes. At 4 inches across (101.6 mm) with the octagonal shape, it takes standard 4 inch octagon blank covers, fixture straps and round canopies that fit the common 4 inch octagon pattern. The finish is plain silver steel, so it is meant to be covered, not left exposed as a decorative element.
5) How are these octagonal boxes packaged for a multi-unit rough-in?
They ship 10 to a carton, with the shipping case measuring 20.8 x 11 x 4.6 inches and running about 103 lbs per 100 boxes. For apartment or tenant-improvement rough-ins where you are setting a lighting outlet in every room, order in those 10-packs.
6) I need the manufacturer spec sheet for Steel City 54571 3/4 1 for my submittal package.
Steel City publishes a spec sheet for the 54571 3/4 1 octagonal box, hosted as a PDF at media.distributordatasolutions.com under the Thomas and Betts documents. It is the document to drop into a submittal or RFI alongside the UL E2969 reference.
