Steel City GW 125 G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many wires can I put in the Steel City GW 125 G masonry box?
The GW 125 G is a 15 cubic inch steel masonry box. Box fill is calculated from that 15 cu-in figure against the conductor sizes you are running, so it supports a modest single-device count, for example six 12 AWG conductors at 2.25 cu-in each with room left over. Count every conductor, device yoke, and clamp against the 15 cu-in before you pull.
2) Can the GW 125 G be ganged for a two or three gang masonry opening?
Yes, it's a gangable box, so the side plates come off and you couple additional boxes to build a two, three or more gang assembly in a block or brick wall. Each box added brings another 15 cubic inches of fill capacity with it.
3) What size masonry block opening does this Steel City box need?
Plan the opening around 3-3/4 inches length by 1-15/16 inches width by 2-1/2 inches depth. The 2-1/2 inch depth is the number that matters most in block work, since the cell or cut pocket has to clear it and still let you bring conduit in behind.
4) How many conduit entries does the GW 125 G have?
Ten knockouts, spread around the box so you can feed in from the back or the sides depending on how the raceway lands in the wall. That count gives you spare entries when you gang boxes together and need to loop between them.
5) Should I use a masonry box or a standard steel switch box in a concrete block wall?
Use the masonry box. The GW 125 G is shaped and sized for a block or brick cell, 1-15/16 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches deep, so it sits in the wall cavity and the plaster ring or device plate finishes flush. A standard drawn switch box is dimensioned for stud framing with drywall and has no business being mortared into block.
6) Is this a steel box or a plastic one, and will it hold up to mortar and grout?
Steel, finished silver. Steel boxes are what you want embedded in masonry: mortar contact and the tamping that comes with setting block won't deform them the way it can a nonmetallic box, and the steel body also serves as the bonding path when you land the equipment ground.
7) Is the GW 125 G sold individually or in a case?
Sold each, so you can order the exact count for a job rather than buying a full carton. Order quantity matches the number of openings you're roughing in.
