Steel City 82-52E-1/4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size box does the Steel City 82-52E extension ring fit?
The 82-52E is a 5 inch by 5 inch square extension ring, so it mounts to a 5 inch square (sometimes called 5-square) steel box of the same footprint. It will not sit on a 4 inch or 4-11/16 inch square box, which use their own matching rings.
2) My 5 inch square box ended up recessed behind the drywall. Will an extension ring fix that?
That is exactly what the 82-52E is for. It bolts to the front of the existing 5 inch square box and brings the mounting plane out flush with the finished surface, so a device or cover can be set properly without pulling and relocating the box. Measure the setback and choose the closest depth among the 1/4, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 inch options.
3) Can I use an extension ring instead of replacing an overcrowded 5 inch square box?
Adding an 82-52E gives you added box volume without cutting the wall open to swap the box, which is why electricians reach for it on retrofit and remodel work. The deeper the ring, the more cubic inches you gain, so the 1-1/4 and 1-1/2 inch depths are the ones to look at when conductor fill is the problem rather than surface depth.
4) How do I order the right Steel City extension ring part number?
The depth is the suffix on the part number. 82-52E-1/4, 82-52E-1/2, 82-52E-5/8, 82-52E-3/4, 82-52E-1-1/4 and 82-52E-1-1/2 give you those depths, and 82-52E-0 is the flat version. Call out the suffix on the order so you do not get shipped a depth that leaves the device sitting proud or buried.
