Steel City 72 C 52 1/2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What raised depths does the Steel City 72C52 4-11/16 inch tile cover come in?
Four raised depths are offered on the 72 C 52 two-gang tile cover: 1/2 inch (72 C 52 1/2), 3/4 inch (72 C 52 3/4), 1 inch (72 C 52 1), and 1-1/4 inch (72 C 52 1 1/4). Pick the depth to match how far the finished wall surface sits in front of the box, so the device ends up flush with the tile or plaster face rather than recessed behind it.
2) Will a 72C52 cover fit my 4-11/16 inch square box?
Yes. The 72 C 52 is sized for 4-11/16 inch square boxes, which is the larger of the two common square box sizes (the other being 4 inch square). It will not fit a 4 inch square box, so confirm which size is in the wall before ordering.
3) Is the Steel City 72C52 cover steel or plastic?
Steel, with a silver finish. That makes it suitable where a metallic wiring system needs continuity through the cover and where a nonmetallic cover would not hold up, such as commercial corridors, plant areas, and back-of-house work in multi-family or institutional buildings.
4) What is a tile cover and when do I use one instead of a flat box cover?
A tile (raised) cover projects out from the box face so the device sits forward of the wall finish. Use one when the box is set back behind tile, plaster, or thick drywall, which is common on masonry and tile walls. A flat cover is right only when the box rim is already at the finished surface. The 72 C 52 handles two devices on a 4-11/16 inch square box and is offered in 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1-1/4 inch raises so you can match the buildup of the finish.
5) How do I pick the right raised depth for the 72C52 cover?
Measure from the front edge of the box to the finished face of the wall, then order the cover whose raise matches or slightly exceeds that measurement. With tile over backer board, 1/2 or 3/4 inch usually covers it; heavier buildups take the 1 inch or 1-1/4 inch versions. Too shallow and the plaster ring sits behind the surface, leaving a gap around the device; too deep and the cover stands proud of the wall.
6) Which exact Steel City part number do I order for a 1-1/4 inch raise?
72 C 52 1 1/4. That is the two-gang, 4-11/16 inch square steel tile cover with a 1-1/4 inch raise, the deepest of the four offered.
