for specific functions:
ɀ i.e., boxes used as mountings for
lighting fixtures are generally of a small
size, and provided with mounting lugs
when required to support lighting fixtures.
ɀ Boxes used for wire pulling should
generally be larger to provide room for
easy pulling.
ɀ Boxes used to splice and/or tap
conductors should be large enough to
permit ease of work and sufficient room
for the required size and number of
conductors.

on the conduit system configuration and the
conduit size used.
ɀ Material and finish – determine from
environmental conditions (corrosive fumes,
