Our fiberglassBOX™ “Premier Series” line of products was created for the electrical contractor looking for nonmetallic outlet boxes with “hard box” characteristics. Allied Moulded’s fiberglassBOX line offers the following advantages: • Non-corrosive • Non-conductive, no ground required • Non-distorting in high heat • Will not melt • Shatter resistant in cold temperatures • Lightweight • Heat insulator 2-Hour Wall and Ceiling Fire Classification All Allied Moulded fiberglass boxes, including our 5305 five gang box, are classified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL®) for use in 2-hour rated walls or ceilings. During an actual fire test set up in a UL laboratory, Allied Moulded boxes passed all of the test criteria outlined in UL Standard 263 for both walls and ceilings. Backed by even more UL® testing, the horizontal box separation requirement outlined in the Uniform Building Code™ can be reduced to as little as three inches without using any additional fire resistive protection. Allied Moulded fiberglass boxes, up to and including two three-gangs, can be mounted in the same stud cavity of fire rated walls with absolutely no additional fire resistant protection needed. In fact, only Allied Moulded has documentation covering all 52 U300 Series wall configurations, eliminating the need for additional putty pads, mineral wool insulation or alternate construction saving the contractor both time and money. See pages 4 and 5 for more information. Look for our classification CEYY “Outlet Boxes and Fittings Classified for Fire Resistance” on our website at www.alliedmoulded.com or in the UL® online certification directory at www.ul.com. Additional documentation from these testing processes is available for examination upon request. Labor Saving Features With innovative products designed for the electrical contractor, Allied Moulded offers the largest, most complete line of box sizes and attachment brackets in the industry for a wide variety of applications. A few of the most popular attachments are: • The “S” snap bracket or a “W” wing bracket for secure, old work box installation • “BH” and 16" adjustable bar hangers for maximum support of ceiling boxes used for fixture support • “Z” brackets with metal spurs to fasten wall boxes to wood or steel studs • The “B” adjustable stabilizing bar, available on 3, 4 or 5 gang boxes, for more secure mounting used in conjunction with nails or “Z” brackets A. Offset gauge marks on box give positive stop for the proper wall thickness B. Bright common nails or pierce- point screws fit securely in specially designed supports and are angled for easy installation C. Strip-resistant, tapered and machine tapped device holes allow device screw to be started by hand and speed installation time with adjustable torque screwdrivers D. Cubic inch capacity clearly marked and easy for contractor and inspector to locate and identify E. Proudly UL® listed F. Knockouts on fiberglass boxes are complete, reducing drafts and are easily removed with wire for no-tool installation G. Leveling ribs position face of box parallel to wall surface H. “Z” brackets are designed to securely hold box to wood or steel studs; brackets also provide proper ¼" or ½" offset I. 2-Hour Fire Rated clearly marked for easy inspector identification J.

Now there’s solid proof, backed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL®) test results . When penetrating all U300 Series fire resistive wall assemblies (including staggered stud) with Allied Moulded outlet boxes, up to and including our three gang boxes, you can now mount two boxes in the same stud cavity on opposite sides of the wall without using any additional protection . That’s right – no mineral wool batt or putty pads needed to insulate the box . Absolutely no additional fire resistant protection required! Prime application examples include a wall between multi-family dwellings . In this or any other application, Allied Moulded outlet boxes are proven so reliable you can feel confident using them for all your outlet box needs . Look for our classification CEYY “Outlet Boxes and Fittings Classified for Fire Resistance” on our web site at www.alliedmoulded.com or in the UL® online certification directory at www.ul.com . Additional documentation from these testing processes is available for examination upon request . *Up to and including three gang boxes You can mount Allied Moulded outlet boxes* in the same stud cavity without any additional fire resistive protection! Reduction in Horizontal Box Separation in Fire Resistive Wall & Ceiling Assemblies Watch our latest video on horizontal wall box placement 5 1-800-722-2679  1-800-237-7269  www.alliedmoulded.com In what type of construction would this rating apply? This rating applies where nonmetallic sheathed cable is used and walls are constructed of wood and non-load-bearing steel studs and gypsum. Can all boxes marked with a 2-hour wall rating be installed in the same manner? No. A box that is marked with 2-hour wall rating means that you can install the box in a 2-hour fire resistive wall or walls with less than 2-hour rating. To find out details of the installation, you must read the instructions found in the UL® Fire Resistive Directory or from the UL® card provided by the manufacturer. The Directory/UL® card describes the following: a. Those boxes suitable for use in the wall by basic model number b. The maximum size opening in square inches c. The maximum openings in total square inches per 100 square feet d. The maximum clearance around the box e. The type construction of the wall assembly – “wood studs and gypsum” f. The wall designs such as “U-300 Series” meaning all wall designs found in the UL Fire Resistive Directory from U-301 through U-370, including those staggered stud designs and separated wall designs g. Horizontal separation when mounted on opposite sides of the wall h. Cover plate material (when limited) What is the maximum size box that can go into the same stud cavity? Paragraph #2 of the card states for those fire resistive wall designs with or without insulation, the maximum size box is a 3 gang 3300, 3303, 9313 (22.0 sq. in.). These boxes can be mounted in all U-300 Series walls with a horizontal separation of three inches when boxes are mounted on opposite sides of the wall. Note: This does include staggered stud construction. Does this rating apply to staggered stud configuration? Yes. U-300 Series walls have both staggered stud designs in addition to separated type walls. Will I still need to use mineral wool or fiberglass insulation? The wall assembly design dictates the need for insulation. The wall design does not change when penetrated by Allied Moulded outlet boxes. What if I am actually putting double drywall in the middle to help with sound? If the wall is constructed of wood studs and gypsum board and is a 2-hour or less fire resistive rated, the penetration with an Allied Moulded outlet box will not cause the wall to be derated as long as it is installed according to instructions. Can I put the boxes back to back? The Fire Resistive card says the boxes must be separated by three inches horizontal separation but not back to back. Do you still have to caulk the knockouts that are penetrated by the wire? Boxes were tested with nonmetallic sheathed cable installed. No caulk is necessary where knockouts are penetrated by the nonmetallic sheathed cable. If I accidentally open a knockout I do not need, do I need to caulk it? The National Electrical Code requires all unused open knockouts to be closed. Allied Moulded’s Speed “K” Klamp™ is an accepted means of closing the knockout (documentation available upon request). Open, unused knockouts in boxes without Speed “K” Klamps would need to be closed. Is there a rating that relates to vertical separation? No, not as of this printing. Does this apply to ceiling configurations also? The instructions for ceiling penetrations are found on the same documentation as the wall boxes; however, the instructions are different. Does this apply to low voltage devices? The fire resistive rating is for Allied Moulded boxes penetrating fire resistive walls classified at 2 hours or less. What is placed inside the box is covered by the National Electrical Code and does not affect the fire resistive rating of the box. Which inspector will be enforcing this code? Electrical or Building or Fire? Minimum horizontal box separation is a requirement of the applicable building code. Generally, the electrical inspector will view the installation first, but final compliance falls on the building inspector.
