Steel City 72 PD 1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Steel City 72 PD box partition actually do inside a square box?
It's a steel divider that drops into a square outlet box and splits it into two separate compartments, so you can run two different systems (for example line voltage on one side and a separate circuit or low-voltage on the other) in the same box without the conductors sharing space. It has no knockouts of its own, since it is a barrier rather than a wiring entry.
2) Will the 72 PD partition fit a 4-11/16 inch square box?
Yes. The 72 PD is sized for a 4-11/16 in square box, which is what the depth dimension on the part refers to. It is not intended for 4 in square boxes, so if your box is a 4 x 4, this divider is the wrong width.
3) I'm standardizing electrical material on a federally funded job. Where is the Steel City 72 PD made?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what a Buy American or domestic-preference submittal usually asks for on this class of steel box hardware. It's a plain silver pre-galvanized steel finish.
4) Can I use a partition instead of installing a second box to keep two circuits separated?
That's exactly the trade-off it exists for. Where you'd otherwise gang a second 4-11/16 square box to keep two systems apart, the 72 PD splits one box into two compartments and saves the extra box, cover and mounting. What it does not do is add volume, so each side of the divided box has to hold its own conductors within the box's own fill allowance. If the count is tight, use two boxes.
5) Is this box divider OK in a damp location or an unfinished basement?
The partition is pre-galvanized steel, which is the same coating used on standard indoor steel boxes and fittings. That suits dry and normally damp interior work such as basements, mechanical rooms and utility spaces. It is not a coated or stainless part, so for corrosive or wet exterior service you want hardware rated for that environment instead.
6) Does the 72 PD come as a single piece or in a pack?
It sells as each, one partition per unit, so order one for every box you need divided. It is a bare steel barrier only, with no cover, box or screws included.
