Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("GAAP”) and are applied on a consistent basis among all years presented. The full summary of our significant accounting policies is included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Graybar pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, this quarterly report includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Graybar and our subsidiary companies. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The ownership interests that are held by owners other than the Company are in subsidiaries owned by the Company and are accounted for and reported as noncontrolling interests. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's financial information to conform to the June 30, 2024 presentation. These changes consisted of aggregating current portion of long-term debt and other accrued taxes with other current liabilities, and aggregating long-term debt with other non-current liabilities within the December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet. The reclassifications had no effect on total assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2023. New Accounting Standards In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU” or “Update”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which requires public entities to provide enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items. Public entities with a single reportable segment must provide all the disclosures required by Topic 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. The guidance requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance applies to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance shall be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the Update to our required disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance addresses investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and shall be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this Update on our consolidated financial statements and expect considerable expansion of our income tax footnote disclosures. |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 4. INCOME TAXES Our total provision for income taxes was $ 37.7 million and $ 74.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. We record our income tax provision using a full-year forecasted methodology, including discrete items in the period in which they occur. Our year-to-date effective tax rate was 25.6 % for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 26.0 % for the six months ended June 30, 2023. In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) introduced a framework, referred to as Pillar Two, creating a 15% global minimum effective tax rate for large multinational corporations. Effective January 1, 2024, Pillar Two legislation was enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions. The Company reviewed the Pillar Two effective rates in all jurisdictions in which the Company operates and confirmed that these rates were all above 15%. Consequently, the Company has concluded that there will be no “top-up” tax liability for 2024. Our federal income tax returns for the tax years 2020 and forward are available for examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The statute of limitations for the 2020 federal return will expire on October 15, 2024, unless extended by consent. Our state income tax returns for 2019 through 2023 remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest period closing on December 31, 2028. We have not extended the statutes of limitations in any state jurisdictions with respect to years prior to 2019. |

Debt [Abstract] | |
Debt | 5. DEBT Revolving Credit Facility At December 31, 2023, we, along with Graybar Canada Limited, our Canadian operating subsidiary ("Graybar Canada"), had an unsecured, five-year , $ 750.0 million committed revolving credit agreement maturing in August 2026 with Bank of America, N.A. and the other lenders named therein (the "Credit Agreement"), which included a combined letter of credit sub-facility of up to $ 25.0 million, a U.S. swing-line loan facility of up to $ 75.0 million, and a Canadian swing-line loan facility of up to $ 20.0 million. The Credit Agreement included a $ 100.0 million sublimit (in U.S. or Canadian dollars) available for borrowings by Graybar Canada. Our borrowing availability under the facility is reduced by the amount of borrowings by Graybar Canada, but we may use the sublimit amount to increase our borrowings, to the extent available. If we were to use available borrowings under the Credit Agreement that included the sublimit amount, then Graybar Canada’s available capacity would be reduced by our use of such amount. The Credit Agreement contained an accordion feature, which allowed us to request increases in the aggregate borrowing commitments of up to $ 375.0 million. On June 26, 2024, we, along with Graybar Canada, amended the Credit Agreement, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a CDOR transition amendment (the “CDOR Amendment”), by and among Graybar, as parent borrower, Graybar Canada Limited, as a borrower, the lenders party thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as Domestic Administrative Agent, Domestic Swing Line Lender and Domestic L/C Issuer and Bank of America, N.A., acting through its Canada Branch, as Canadian Administrative Agent, Canadian Swing Line Lender and Canadian L/C Issuer. The CDOR Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, change the interest rate under the Credit Agreement for borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars from a CDOR-based rate to a rate based on Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA), subject to the adjustments specified in the Credit Agreement. Our borrowing availability remains unchanged under the revised Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). Interest on our borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement will be based on, at the borrower’s election, either (A) (i) the base rate (as defined in the agreement) or (ii) term SOFR (as defined in the agreement, in the case of U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings) or (B) (i) the base rate or (ii) term CORRA (as defined in the agreement, in the case of Graybar Canada as borrower with respect to Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings), in each case plus an applicable rate, as determined by the pricing grid set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. In connection with such a borrowing, the applicable borrower will also select the term of the loan from available tenors, up to six months, or automatically renew with the consent of the lenders. Swing line loans, which are daily loans, will bear interest at a rate based on, at the borrower’s election, either (i) the base rate or (ii) term SOFR (or term CORRA, in the case of Graybar Canada with respect to Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings). In addition to interest payments, there are certain fees and obligations associated with borrowings, swing-line loans, letters of credit and other administrative matters. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement and Credit Agreement, respectively, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024, we had total debt of $ 3.7 million, of which $ 1.8 million was long-term debt. At December 31, 2023, we had total debt of $ 4.7 million, of which $ 2.8 million was long-term debt. There were no short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Short-term borrowings outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2024 ranged from no short-term borrowings to a maximum of $ 38.0 million. Short-term borrowings outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2023 ranged from no short-term borrowings to a maximum of $ 175.0 million. At June 30, 2024, we had unused lines of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement amounting to $ 746.0 million available, compared to $ 746.4 million at December 31, 2023 under the Credit Agreement. These lines are available to meet our short-term cash requirements and are subject to annual fees of up to 40 basis points ( 0.40 %). We had interest income, net of $ 0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to interest expense, net of $ 1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. We had interest income, net of $ 1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to interest expense, net of $ 2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Private Placement Shelf Agreements We have an uncommitted, unsecured $ 200.0 million private placement shelf agreement (the “Prudential Shelf Agreement”) with PGIM, Inc., which is expected to allow us to issue senior promissory notes to affiliates of PGIM, Inc. at fixed rate terms to be agreed upon at the time of any issuance during a three-year issuance period ending in August 2026. We also have an uncommitted, unsecured private placement shelf agreement (the "MetLife Shelf Agreement") with MetLife Investment Management, LLC (formerly known as MetLife Investment Advisors, LLC), and MetLife Investment Management Limited (collectively, “MetLife”) and each other MetLife affiliate that becomes a party to the agreement. The MetLife Shelf Agreement is expected to allow us to issue senior promissory notes to MetLife at fixed or floating rate economic terms to be agreed upon at the time of issuance. On June 25, 2024, we amended the MetLife Shelf Agreement to, among other things, increase availability from $ 150.0 million to $ 200.0 million, and extend the issuance period to June 2027 , and thereafter, for successive three-year periods until either party notifies the other party at least 30 days prior to the then applicable stated period end date of its intent not to extend. We remain obligated under a most favored lender clause which is designed to ensure that any notes in the future under the Prudential Shelf Agreement and MetLife Shelf Agreement will continue to be of equal ranking with indebtedness under our Amended Credit Agreement. No notes have been issued under either the Prudential Shelf Agreement or the MetLife Shelf Agreement as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Each shelf agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and the applicable lender, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, customary for agreements of this type. These covenants are substantially similar to those contained in the Amended Credit Agreement, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications set forth in the applicable shelf agreement. All outstanding obligations of Graybar under one or both of these agreements may be declared immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Prudential Shelf Agreement and the MetLife Shelf Agreement as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Letters of Credit We had total letters of credit of $ 9.8 million outstanding as of June 30, 2024, of which $ 4.0 million were issued under the Amended Credit Agreement. We had total letters of credit of $ 9.4 million as of December 31, 2023, of which $ 3.6 million were issued under the Credit Agreement. The letters of credit are issued primarily to support certain workers' compensation insurance policies and support performance under certain customer contracts. |

Pension And Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Pension And Other Postretirement Benefits | 6. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS We have a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan") covering substantially all employees first hired prior to July 1, 2015 after the completion of one year of service and 1,000 hours of service . The Pension Plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s final average earnings and years of service. A supplemental benefit plan provides nonqualified pension benefits for compensation in excess of the IRS compensation limits applicable to the Pension Plan and eligible compensation deferred by a participant. Our funding policy is to make contributions to the Pension Plan, provided that the total annual contributions will not be less than the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 minimums or greater than the maximum tax-deductible amount, to review the contribution and funding strategy on a regular basis, and to allow discretionary contributions to be made by us from time to time. The assets of the Pension Plan are invested primarily in fixed income investments and equity securities. We pay nonqualified pension benefits when they are due according to the terms of the supplemental benefit plan. We have an employee deferred compensation trust to meet funding obligations for nonqualified pension benefits to certain participants in the supplemental benefit plan. The assets of the employee deferred compensation trust are invested in highly liquid money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities. We provide certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits to retired employees. Substantially all of our employees hired or rehired prior to 2014 may become eligible for postretirement medical benefits if they reach the age and service requirements of the retiree medical plan and retire on a pension (except a deferred pension) under the Pension Plan. Postretirement life insurance benefits are insured through an insurance company. We fund postretirement benefits as incurred, and accordingly, there were no assets held in the postretirement benefits plan at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The net periodic benefit cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included the following components: Pension Benefits Postretirement Benefits Three Months Ended Three Months Ended June 30, June 30, Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost 2024 2023 2024 2023 Selling, general and administrative expenses: Service cost $ 5.8 $ 6.3 $ 0.3 $ 0.4 Total selling, general and administrative expenses $ 5.8 $ 6.3 $ 0.3 $ 0.4 Non-operating expenses, net: Interest cost $ 8.1 $ 7.9 $ 0.8 $ 0.8 Expected return on plan assets ( 8.0 ) ( 7.2 ) — — Amortization of net actuarial loss 2.3 0.3 — — Total non-operating expenses, net $ 2.4 $ 1.0 $ 0.8 $ 0.8 Net periodic benefit cost $ 8.2 $ 7.3 $ 1.1 $ 1.2 Pension Benefits Postretirement Benefits Six Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, Components of Net Periodic Benefit Cost 2024 2023 2024 2023 Selling, general and administrative expenses: Service cost $ 11.3 $ 12.2 $ 0.7 $ 0.7 Total selling, general and administrative expenses $ 11.3 $ 12.2 $ 0.7 $ 0.7 Non-operating expenses, net: Interest cost $ 16.0 $ 15.9 $ 1.6 $ 1.7 Expected return on plan assets ( 16.0 ) ( 14.5 ) — — Amortization of net actuarial loss 3.8 0.6 — — Total non-operating expenses, net $ 3.8 $ 2.0 $ 1.6 $ 1.7 Net periodic benefit cost $ 15.1 $ 14.2 $ 2.3 $ 2.4 We made qualified and nonqualified pension contributions totaling $ 10.0 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Contributions made during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 totaled $ 21.1 million and $ 23.9 million, respectively. Additional contributions of $ 20.0 million are expected to be paid during the remainder of 2024, but may change at our discretion. |

Capital Stock [Abstract] | |
Capital Stock | 7. CAPITAL STOCK Our common stock is 100 % owned by active and retired employees, and there is no public trading market for our common stock. Since 1928, substantially all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock have been held of record by voting trustees under successive voting trust agreements. A new Voting Trust Agreement was established effective March 3, 2017, which expires by its terms on March 1, 2027 because under applicable New York law, a voting trust may not have a term greater than ten years. At June 30, 2024, approximately 83 % of our outstanding common stock was held in the voting trust. The participation of shareholders in the voting trust is voluntary at the time the voting trust is created, but is irrevocable during its term. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the voting trust hold their common stock as shareholders of record. Shareholders may elect to participate in the voting trust at any time during the term of the voting trust. No holder of our common stock or voting trust interests representing our common stock ("common stock", "common shares", or "shares") may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares without first offering us the option to purchase those shares at the price at which they were issued. We also have the option to purchase at the issue price the common shares of any shareholder who ceases to be an employee for any reason other than death or "retirement" (as defined in our amended restated certificate of incorporation), and on the first anniversary of any holder's death. In the past, we have always exercised these purchase options, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. However, we can make no assurance that we will continue to exercise our purchase option in the future. All outstanding shares have been issued at $ 20.00 per share. Cash dividends paid were $ 9.7 million and $ 8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash dividends paid were $ 19.4 million and $ 16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also have authorized 10,000,000 shares of Delegated Authority Preferred Stock (“preferred stock”), par value one cent ($ 0.01 ). The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, with the designations, relative rights, preferences, and limitations of shares of each such series being fixed by a resolution of our Board of Directors. There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. |

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingencies | 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We are subject to various claims, disputes, and administrative and legal matters incidental to our past and current business activities. As a result, contingencies arise resulting from an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving an uncertainty as to the realization of a possible loss. We have in place insurance coverage for litigation defense and claim settlement costs incurred in connection with our asbestos claims. We estimate the value of probable insurance recoveries associated with our asbestos reserve based on management’s interpretations and estimates surrounding the available or applicable insurance coverage. We estimate the future payments for litigation defense and claim settlement costs based on our historical liabilities and current and projected caseloads. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $ 2.3 million and $ 38.4 million of insurance receivables recorded in other current assets and other non-current assets, respectively, and $ 2.3 million and $ 38.4 million recorded in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities, respectively, related to our asbestos litigation defense and claims settlement reserve. Estimated loss contingencies are accrued only if the loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to a particular loss contingency, it may be probable that a loss has occurred but the estimate of the loss is a wide range. If we deem an amount within the range to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount will be accrued. However, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. While we believe that none of these claims, disputes, administrative, and legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, these matters are uncertain and we cannot at this time determine whether the financial impact, if any, of these matters will be material to our results of operations in the period in which such matters are resolved or a better estimate becomes available. |

Acquisitions [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | 10. ACQUISITIONS During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we completed three acquisitions for a combined preliminary purchase price of $ 126.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in $ 49.0 million and $ 63.5 million of tax-deductible goodwill and other intangible assets, respectively. The acquisitions were funded with cash on hand. Since the dates of acquisition, the results of the acquired businesses are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Pro forma results of the acquisitions were not material; therefore, they are not presented. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we received a post-closing working capital adjustment of $ 3.0 million related to a 2023 acquisition. |

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Graybar pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, this quarterly report includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Graybar and our subsidiary companies. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The ownership interests that are held by owners other than the Company are in subsidiaries owned by the Company and are accounted for and reported as noncontrolling interests. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's financial information to conform to the June 30, 2024 presentation. These changes consisted of aggregating current portion of long-term debt and other accrued taxes with other current liabilities, and aggregating long-term debt with other non-current liabilities within the December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet. The reclassifications had no effect on total assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2023. |
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU” or “Update”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which requires public entities to provide enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items. Public entities with a single reportable segment must provide all the disclosures required by Topic 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. The guidance requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance applies to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance shall be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the Update to our required disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance addresses investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and shall be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this Update on our consolidated financial statements and expect considerable expansion of our income tax footnote disclosures. |
