Carlon PVC boxes

[nizak]

Is anyone here running into shortages of Carlon PVC boxes?

It's getting hard to find virtually all styles at the 3 box stores here in town.

For about a month it was difficult getting the grey Carlon boxes. 6"x6" x4", 8"x8"x4 etc, now they are available and the blue boxes are scarce.

I don't use the blue boxes. I use fiberglass.
But I see dwindling supply of both at Home Depot.

Around here, Lowes is slower to run out because it's more for homeowners.

Right now, I'm struggling to find 3/4" emt, deep gangable cut-in metal boxes, Eaton 15 amp single pole breakers, Eaton 100 amp main breaker panels, and a few other things.

Depot seems to be changing over to the fiberglass boxes, they didn’t used to carry fiberglass boxes.

In Kansas City, all HDs have had fiberglass for 25 years. I think it may be a regional thing.

Probably is.

I've had a 6" x 6" x 5' PVC trough on order for 2 months. Their is a PVC shortage. Check out the prices of PVC pipe.

More holes in the shelves here than the TP aisle it Wally World.

Blue Carlon is getting scarce at the local HD.

Don't know about HD and Lowes, but at Menards a hole in the shelf on some those items might just mean someone wiped out what was on display and there might be more stock elsewhere that hasn't replaced it yet. Usually somewhere on the high up shelves.

I think Peter D is hogging them all up planning on 2021 inventory

It's been empty for 4 weeks.

Good, hopefully the blue bombers will never come back. I'd be so happy if I never had to see or touch one of those awful things again.

I can't get my makeup this clean with a blue box.
Fiber all the way for me
