Steel City 82C-1-RD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Steel City 82C-1 blank cover fit a standard 5-square electrical box?
Yes. The 82C-1 is a 5 inch square blank cover made for 5-square boxes, so it closes off a standard 5 inch square box opening with no device knockouts or openings.
2) What is the difference between the 82C-1 and the 82C-1-RD cover?
Same 5 inch square blank steel cover, different color. Order 82C-1 for the standard finish and 82C-1-RD for the red version, which crews typically use to identify fire alarm or other life-safety circuits in the field.
3) Will a 4-11/16 inch cover work on my box instead of this one?
A 5-square box is the 4-11/16 inch trade size, commonly called 5-square. The 82C-1 is listed as the 5 inch square cover for that family, so it and a 4-11/16 blank cover address the same box. A 4 inch square (1900 box) cover will not fit.
4) Is the red 5-square blank cover painted steel or plastic?
Steel. The 82C-1 family is steel with a pre-galvanized surface finish, so it handles commercial and industrial installs rather than being a plastic snap-on cover.
5) Can I use this blank cover for a junction box that has to stay accessible?
That is what a blank cover is for. The 82C-1 has no device openings, so it seals a 5 inch square box used purely as a junction or splice point while keeping the conductors reachable by removing the cover screws.
6) Is the pre-galvanized finish on this cover OK for outdoor or wet locations?
Pre-galvanized steel is a dry and damp indoor finish. For exterior, wet, or washdown locations use a gasketed weatherproof cover rated for that environment instead of the 82C-1.
7) Can I use a red blank cover to color-code fire alarm junction boxes across a building?
That is the usual reason to stock 82C-1-RD. Buying one part number in red for every 5-square fire alarm junction lets an inspector or tech identify life-safety boxes at a glance, and you can run the standard 82C-1 on everything else for the same box size.
