Compliant junction boxes
Posted: January 11th, 2018, 10:32 pm
Hi all, (Chris) i’ve put the down lighters in the soffits and they look pretty good if I do say so myself.
Can I ask if all junction boxes are considered compliant as long as they clamp the outer cable securely? I’ve used standard screw up connectors (the ones you get in strips) to join the conductors at each light. This connector is held within a rigidplastic box that has screw up clamps gripping the outer cables. They are not fixed but accessible by popping out the downlighter, reaching in and pulling out. Would these JBs also be suitable for unaccessable locations like the ceiling void? Im not really sure what a maintenance free connector is? Is a standard ceiling rose still compliant because this has no clamp for the flex / cables?
Thanks in advance
