Product Description:
UL Standard Octagonal Electrical Galvanized Metal Junction Box
Octagon metal conduit box, also known as an octagon electrical box or octagonal junction box, is a type of electrical box used in electrical installations to house and protect electrical wiring connections, switches, outlets, or other electrical devices. These boxes are named for their octagonal shape, which provides ample space for wiring and connections. Here are some key features and uses of octagon metal conduit boxes:
1. Shape: Octagon metal conduit boxes have eight sides and are typically made of metal, such as steel or aluminum. The octagonal shape allows for multiple conduit entry points, making them versatile for various wiring configurations.
2. Conduit Connections: These boxes are often used in conjunction with EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) or other types of conduits. They have knockout holes or threaded hubs on multiple sides, allowing for conduit entry from different directions. This flexibility in conduit connections makes them suitable for various installation scenarios.
3. Mounting: Octagon metal conduit boxes are designed to be mounted flush with a wall or ceiling surface. They can be attached directly to wood or metal studs using screws or other suitable fasteners.
4. Electrical Devices: Octagon boxes are commonly used to house electrical switches, outlets, lighting fixtures, and other devices. The interior of the box provides space for wire splicing and making electrical connections safely and securely.
5. Sizes: These boxes come in various sizes to accommodate different wiring needs and device types. The size is usually determined by the depth and dimensions of the box.
6. Knockouts: Many octagon metal conduit boxes have knockout holes on the sides that can be removed to create openings for conduit entry or to install cable clamps.
7. Grounding: Octagon boxes are typically grounded to ensure electrical safety. Grounding conductors are connected to the box using grounding screws or clips.
8. Cover Plates: To protect the wiring and connections inside the box and to provide a finished appearance, octagon metal conduit boxes are covered with appropriate cover plates or devices, which can be made of metal or plastic.
