Carlon BH614R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Thomas & Betts BH614R Super Blue box be installed in an existing ceiling without opening the drywall?
That's exactly what old work boxes are for. The BH614R Super Blue goes into an existing ceiling through a cut opening, no need to pull the drywall or get at a joist from above. It's secured with screws rather than nails into framing, so the box holds against the ceiling material once it's set. Cut the opening, seat the box, drive the mounting screws, then bring your conductors in and make up the device.
2) How many wires can I put in a 14.5 cubic inch ceiling box?
14.5 cubic inches is the working volume of the Super Blue BH614R, and NEC box fill is what governs the count off that number. 14 AWG counts 2.00 cubic inches per conductor and 12 AWG counts 2.25, with one extra conductor volume for all grounds combined, one for all clamps, and two for a mounted device such as a fixture canopy strap or fan control. Two 14 AWG cables plus grounds plus a device runs about 12.0 cubic inches, so it fits. Three 12 AWG cables with a device pushes past 14.5 and needs a larger box.
3) Can I hang a ceiling fan from the Thomas & Betts BH614R Super Blue box?
No. The BH614R is a non-metallic old work ceiling box for light fixtures and electrical devices. A paddle fan has to hang from a box specifically marked and listed for fan support, and this one is not. For a retrofit fan, order an old work fan-rated ceiling box or a fan brace bar with a fan-rated box, not this one.
4) Does the Super Blue BH614R ceiling box have knockouts for conduit?
No knockouts at all on the BH614R. It's a non-metallic box built for cable entry, so it takes NM cable through its integral entry points rather than accepting a conduit connector or a metal fitting through a punched knockout. If your ceiling run is EMT or flex, you want a metallic box with knockouts instead.
5) Non-metallic or metal ceiling box for a retrofit, which should I use?
Non-metallic, like the BH614R Super Blue, is the usual pick on an old work ceiling running NM cable: the plastic body doesn't corrode, it doesn't need to be bonded to the branch circuit ground, and it screws in from the face without needing framing access. Go metal instead when the wiring method is conduit or armoured cable, when you need knockouts for fittings, or when the box has to support weight the plastic box isn't rated for. The BH614R has no knockouts, which is the clearest tell of where it belongs.
6) What is the part number for the Thomas & Betts Super Blue old work ceiling box, and is it sold individually?
Order it as Thomas & Betts BH614R. It sells each, not by the carton, so a job needing eight ceiling openings is a quantity of eight. The blue body is the Super Blue line marking, which is how crews pick it out of a mixed box of fittings on site.
7) Will the BH614R hold up in a damp basement or an unconditioned warehouse ceiling?
The non-metallic body won't rust or corrode the way a steel box will in humid air, which is the main reason contractors reach for plastic in basements, parking structures, and unheated warehouse space. It is an ordinary indoor outlet box though, not a weatherproof or wet-location enclosure, so keep it out of locations exposed to rain or direct wetting.
