Steel City RS 18 CC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Steel City RS 18 CC cover fit a standard 4 inch square outlet box?
Yes. The RS 18 CC is a 4 inch square surface cover, so it mounts to the two diagonal screw holes on any standard 4 inch square (4SQ) box. It is a raised cover with a 1/2 inch raise, which adds 5 cubic inches of usable box volume for conductor fill.
2) What device configuration does the Steel City RS 18 CC cover take, a switch or a receptacle?
Both, in one cover. The RS 18 CC is a combination cover punched for one toggle switch and one GFI (decorator style) receptacle, so a single 4 inch square box can carry a switch and a GFCI outlet side by side. If you need two of the same device, this is the wrong punch.
3) Is the RACO 897KH swivel cover a substitute for the Steel City RS 18 CC on a 4 inch square box?
No. Both mount to a 4 inch square outlet box, but they do different jobs. The Steel City RS 18 CC is a surface cover with a toggle switch opening plus a GFI opening, so it closes out a box holding a switch and a GFCI device. The RACO 897KH is a KWIK-HANG Series swivel cover for a 4 inch square box intended for 1/2 or 3/4 inch pipe, so it is used to hang or support the box off conduit rather than to finish a wiring device. If the box contains a toggle and a GFCI receptacle, the RS 18 CC is the cover you want.
4) Can a pre-galvanized steel 4 inch square raised cover be used outdoors or in a damp location?
No. The RS 18 CC is pre-galvanized steel intended for dry indoor surface-mount work such as exposed conduit runs in basements, garages, shops and utility spaces. Wet or damp locations need a weatherproof cover with a gasket and listed GFCI enclosure, not a pre-galvanized device cover.
5) Is the Steel City RS 18 CC box cover UL listed?
It carries UL file E2969. That matters on inspected commercial and institutional work where every component in an exposed conduit system has to be a listed part.
6) Why use a raised device cover instead of a flat blank cover on a 4 inch square box?
A flat cover closes the box; a raised device cover like the RS 18 CC closes it and holds the devices. The 1/2 inch raise also contributes 5 cubic inches of volume, which helps when the box is already crowded with conductors, grounds and device yokes. Use a flat cover only where the box is a junction with no devices.
7) Between the Steel City RS 18 CC and the RACO 897KH, which one gives me a UL listed finished cover for a surface mounted box?
The Steel City RS 18 CC is the finished surface cover. It is pre-galvanized steel, carries UL E2969, has 5 cubic inches of volume added to the box, and is sold each. The RACO 897KH is a KWIK-HANG Series swivel cover for a 4 inch square box used with 1/2 or 3/4 inch pipe, which addresses mounting the box rather than finishing the devices in it.
8) How is the Steel City RS 18 CC sold, individually or by the box?
The RS 18 CC cover is sold each, so you can order the exact count for a job rather than a carton quantity. Ordering part number is RS 18 CC.
