Review on Madison Electric Products MSB1G Adjustable Electrical Box by Stephen Johnson

As an electrician in Philadelphia, I install MANY boxes in old plaster and batten walls, while the usual "old" boxes for attaching to wall panels simply suffice due to unevenness and/ or depth of the wall paneling hardware on the inside of the wall will not work properly. Traditional metal ear boxes designed for fin mounting are not deep enough to accommodate dimmers, GFCIs, or other bulky devices. good results with the old treatment on the plaster strip between the nubs. In the end, the examiner failed my trick of modifying the blue nail boxes by trimming the nails and the plastic of the nail holders, and then having the fine-thread drywall screws cut into the plastic by "putting" their tips into the corners of the box. " (where they also protrude laterally) from devices and cables). The thought is that boxes of nails are not listed for internal mounting screws and could potentially contact live wires and either damage them or conduct electricity through the building structure. This box solves the problem: it's a registered and manufactured version of my workaround (and costs 6 times as much), but it's a quality product. I'm a firm believer in "use plastic if you don't need metal". for almost all electrical equipment, and I find the exposed live metal terminals on the back of porcelain sockets, the entire metal case of any metal case, and any number of other standard electrical items 1000 times more dangerous than my modified blue nail. but I am not an insurer. The cable entry holes on this Madison product COULD BE IMPROVED! Especially when paired with the SimPull 14/3 flat cable, which loves to play around with plastic push-in clips and snap-button connectors.
