Evening all.
I may have to fit a weatherproof junction box to a hollow, round metal pole.

Are maintaince free junction boxes safe to use under floor boards? Will one rated at 32 amps be suitable for use on a ring main? Any brands you recommend?
hi, first time here, and not an electrician, but hopefully someone might be able to help.
Our electrician installed some outside wiring on a terrace a few years ago, terminating the cables in IP66 junction boxes so that we could put some lights in at a later date. That time has now come and I...
Hi
I’ve got a junction box outside which is cracked. It has 3 1.5mm SWA cables going into it.
I’m planning on replacing it with a Wiska 308 box, with piranha earth nuts. In the old junction box the SWA was not earthed-banjos attached but no earth fly lead.
I’ve got two questions about...

I am looking for an outdoor junction box for a night flood light. Most boxes I see have openings from sides of the box only. I would like the junction box to be installed on top of the wire coming out from the wall and have one wire going out from the top to light. Any ideas which box...
Hi Guys,
I'm tweaking the layout to my garage and I'd like to put a cabinet against the wall right where my conservatory sockets are fed from. Due to this I need to recess a junction.

Hi all,
Was just wondering what you guys and girls use as junction boxes for installing downlights. I have used wago lightbox's along with Scolmore click connector blocks but was hoping there was something that kinda combined the two. I love the 2 part design of the Scolmore but hate the screw...
I was kindly given a sample box containing twenty of these Quickwire pre-wired junction boxes by the manufacturer for me to install and assess on-site. I have to say that I was most impressed by the ease and quickness of installation. I'll certainly be using them again. Has anyone else tried...
I moved into a new house today and whilst moving the sofa I broke the blanking plate off what I think is a junction box near the electric meter (it has two wires in one way and one the other way). I'm tempted to have a go at it myself or even just superglue it back on as it is just the box that...

Hello,
While pulling up floor boards for plumbing purposes (1950s semi detached) I came across an old style junction box (black plastic and screwed) attached to a joist. This is for the downstairs lighting circuit from what I can tell (size of wires and disappearing into the ceiling in a...
