Skip the Putty Pads: Simplify Eligible Installations with Allied Moulded

Fewer materials to purchase. Fewer steps on the job. Allied Moulded’s fiberglass electrical boxes offer contractors an opportunity to eliminate putty pads in eligible installations.

Hartland Southwest’s counter sign highlights that benefit alongside vapor-sealed box options, making it a useful starting point for choosing products for your next project.

When Can You Skip the Putty Pads?

Allied Moulded identifies specific fiberglassBOX™ products for back-to-back installation without putty pads when installed in qualifying wall assemblies under the applicable listing.

The benefit depends on the exact model, wall construction, and installation conditions. Review Allied Moulded’s back-to-back product information to confirm eligibility.

Fewer Steps Across Repeated Layouts

For qualifying installations, eliminating putty pads means less material to buy and less time spent applying pads. That can be especially useful on projects with repeated electrical layouts, where the same installation steps occur throughout the building.

Actual savings depend on the number of eligible boxes, material costs, and installation labor.

Consider Vapor-Sealed Options, Too

The counter sign also highlights Allied Moulded’s vapor-sealed fiberglass boxes for projects with air-sealing requirements. Treat air-sealing performance and fire-resistance classification as separate selection criteria: a vapor-sealed design alone does not establish whether putty pads can be omitted.

Match the exact product to the project’s requirements and the manufacturer’s installation details.
