Steel City 82181T-1234-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size opening and depth does the Steel City 82181T 5-inch square box need in the wall?
The 82181T measures 5 inches by 5 inches with a 2-7/8 inch depth, so you need a stud bay or wall cavity that clears just under 3 inches behind the finished surface. In 2x4 framing that leaves room, but on a furred-out masonry wall or a shallow chase, measure first. The box gives 64 cubic inches of volume.
2) What is the difference between the 82181T-1 and the 82181T-1234-1 5-square box?
Both are the same 5-inch square steel telecom box; the difference is knockout layout. Order 82181T-1 for the 9-knockout version. Order 82181T-1234-1 if you want the combination 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch knockouts, which lets you land a mix of trade sizes (for example 1 inch conduit for a data home run plus 1/2 inch for low-voltage drops) without punching or reducing.
3) Is 64 cubic inches enough for a structured wiring or telecom pull point?
64 cubic inches is a large-capacity box by square-box standards, and that volume is what makes it workable as a splice or transition point where several cables converge. For a telecom drop with multiple cable entries and service loops, it gives room to dress conductors rather than cramming them. Box fill still has to be calculated against the number and size of conductors you are actually bringing in.
4) Is the 82181T box metal or plastic, and can I bond it?
Steel, finished in silver. Being a metallic box, it is the right choice where the raceway system is metal conduit and where you want the enclosure itself in the bonding path. If you are running nonmetallic cable into a plastic box on a residential rough-in, this is not that product.
5) Can I use a 5-square telecom box for line-voltage work, or is it low-voltage only?
The 82181T is a steel square electrical box built for telecommunications and network infrastructure, and it is used across commercial building wiring, structured wiring in homes, data centers and multi-unit properties. Nothing about the shell restricts it to low voltage, but mixing line voltage and communications conductors in one enclosure is governed by separation rules, so plan the box as either a power box or a comms box, not both.
6) Do I need to order a cover and mounting hardware separately for the 82181T?
The 82181T is sold as the box alone, each. A square box of this type still needs a cover or a raised device ring sized to your device and wall thickness, plus connectors for each cable or conduit entry. Spec those alongside the box so the opening gets closed out on the same trip.
7) How many cable entries can I get into the Steel City 82181T?
The 9-knockout version gives you nine possible entry points around the box, which is what lets a single enclosure serve as a distribution point for several runs instead of ganging boxes together. You only open the knockouts you use; the rest stay closed.
