Hi,
Is it allowed by 17th edition to couple wires inside steel conduit box. Had this situation at work but I had used standard junction box. |

Learn somfink nu everyday on here.
Still trying to imagine: "Is it allowed by 17th edition to couple wires inside steel conduit box. Had this situation at work but I had used standard junction box." Nope, still don't understand so I'd better see if I can actually get a standard joint box inside a steel conduit box and fit both lids. Got it. I fitted a standard joint box to the cover fixings (same space apart), brought the cables through the back, by drilling a couple of holes. Not the way I've done it before, but then I've not done a 17th edition course. I'm sure there must be an easier way. ------------------------- Norman |

You'll be wanting a couple of by stock bi-pin to BC adaptors next so you don't have to repaint the ceiling (told you I was lazy!)
