Southwire 54C3-5/8-UPC Round Steel Raised Cover

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 54C3-5/8-UPC is a round steel raised fixture cover designed to convert a 4-inch square electrical box into a round opening for lighting installation. It provides 8-32 threaded mounting tabs for securing light fixtures and includes angled slots that compensate for up to 0.5 inches of box misalignment on upright framing members. This cover is built to UL and RoHS compliance standards, making it suitable for residential and light commercial wiring applications. Electricians rely on this type of fitting cover to complete retrofit lighting installations cleanly and to code.

This raised cover is used in wall and ceiling installations where a 4-inch square box must be adapted to accept a round-base light fixture. The 0.625-inch raised depth provides clearance for wiring connections in tighter box configurations. It is suited for new construction and retrofit scenarios where square boxes are already in place and a round fixture mount is required. The angled slot design simplifies alignment when framing members are not perfectly plumb or level.
