I'm looking for some 6 pair B blocks (S66B3-6) for residential use. Graybar and Sandman have them but at double the cost of a 50 pair. Does anybody have a few laying around that they might be willing to sell?
Thanks-
Jeff

Jeff

I'm with you on the pricing.
We saw them in half. Works fine.

Hubble makes a split 6 pair, 3 on each side, that's cheaper. Part number HPWB36. Still more than a 66M150.

Don't know about sawing them in half I've never tried it. Seems like you'd have to have a band saw or something for a straight cut and still have to glue the back plate on or be very careful until it was mounted. Unless you like picking up all the pins.

Yeah I tried the sawing thing before...did not work too well.

Well again more than a 66M150, but Siemon S66M4-24 (spit 12 pair per side) bracket for it S89E and cover MC425 all available at Graybar.

I don't know why they are more than the M150, probably not as much demand as the 50s'. I like a separate block for my CO feeds.

I've got an email into my Graybar rep. They have the Hubbell block on their site but don't show any stock. It's cheaper than the Siemon one but we'll see if I can actually get them.
My only guess on the price thing is that they make a lot more M1-50s than all of the other blocks.

That's the price you pay Jeff when you refuse to accept the newest standard...BIX laugh

I've cut the 66M150's in half at different times. look for the ones that snap on rather than glued, Remove the pins (2-3 rows) put it back togeather and saw away.
