Steel City 583511/2-30 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What do the suffixes on the Steel City 58351-1/2 utility box mean (BC, CN, ST, -30, -30L)?
Those letters identify the mounting bracket style on the box. Steel City sells the 58351-1/2 as a plain box with no bracket (ordered as 58351 1/2) and in five bracketed versions: 58351 1/2 BC, 58351 1/2 CN, 58351-1/2-ST, 583511/2-30 and 5835112-30L. The box body is the same in every case; what changes is how it attaches to the stud or framing, so pick the suffix that matches how you are hanging it and order the plain version if you are screwing straight to a surface.
2) What should be used instead of the Steel City 58351-1/2 utility box in a wet or outdoor location?
The Steel City 58351-1/2 is a steel utility box for dry interior work. For an exposed exterior location, the Mulberry Royal Mountie weatherproof outlet box is a die-cast aluminum 1-gang box built for that duty, and the Thomas & Betts 2IH3-1 Red-Dot is a 2-gang conduit outlet box with three 1/2 inch hubs for threaded conduit runs.
3) Can the Steel City 58351-1/2 be used in a hazardous or classified area?
No. The Steel City 58351-1/2 is a standard steel utility outlet box. For classified areas, Appleton offers explosionproof malleable iron conduit outlet boxes: the GRJ series, the GRJS universal series, and the round GRT75.
4) Is the Steel City 58351-1/2 handy box steel or plastic?
Steel. The 58351-1/2 utility (handy) box is a steel outlet box with a silver finish, so it will take machine-screw device mounting and bonding to the box itself, unlike a nonmetallic box such as the Cantex EZ Box PVC residential outlet box.
5) Is a handy box like the 58351-1/2 the same as a conduit outlet box with hubs?
Not the same thing. A utility (handy) box such as the Steel City 58351-1/2 is a steel device box with knockouts, intended for a single device in indoor surface or stud work. A conduit outlet box with threaded hubs, like the Thomas & Betts Red-Dot 2IH3-1 with three 1/2 inch hubs, is made for exposed conduit runs where the raceway threads directly into the body. Choose by whether your conduit terminates in a knockout connector or a hub.
