Wiring Methods and Components - Cabinets, Boxes, and Fittings |
|||
All pull boxes, junction boxes, and fittings shall be provided with approved
covers. If metal covers are used, they shall be grounded. In completed installations, each outlet box shall have a cover, faceplate, or fixture canopy. Outlet box covers having holes through which flexible cord pendants pass, shall be provided with bushings or shall have smooth, well-rounded surfaces on which the cords may bear. Boxes shall provide a complete enclosure for the contained conductors or cables. Boxes shall be closed by suitable and securely fastened covers. Underground box covers that weigh over 100 pounds meet this requirement. Box covers shall be permanently marked "HIGH VOLTAGE" on the outside of the box cover and shall be readily visible and legible. If cabinets, boxes, fittings, cutout boxes, and panelboard enclosures must be located in a damp or wet location, they shall be installed so as to prevent moisture or water from entering and accumulating within the enclosures. |
