Abstract
An outlet box assembly for termination of electrical and communication wires which generally includes a box having a floor and a sidewall extending upwardly from the floor, a cover attached to the box and a divider attached to the cover between the box floor and the cover.
The box defines an interior therein and the cover at least partially encloses the interior. The divider divides the box interior into first and second wiring compartments adapted to respectively contain electrical and communication wires therein.
The box defines an interior therein and the cover at least partially encloses the interior. The divider divides the box interior into first and second wiring compartments adapted to respectively contain electrical and communication wires therein.
Claims (23)
1. An outlet box assembly for termination of electrical and communication wires comprising:
a box including a floor and a sidewall extending upwardly from said floor, said box defining an interior therein;
a cover attached to said box for at least partially enclosing said interior;
and a divider attached to said cover between said box floor and said cover for dividing said interior into first and second wiring compartments adapted to respectively contain electrical and communication wires therein.
a box including a floor and a sidewall extending upwardly from said floor, said box defining an interior therein;
a cover attached to said box for at least partially enclosing said interior;
and a divider attached to said cover between said box floor and said cover for dividing said interior into first and second wiring compartments adapted to respectively contain electrical and communication wires therein.
2. An outlet box as defined in Claim 1, wherein said divider is removably attachable to said cover while said cover is attached to said box.
3. An outlet box as defined in Claim 1, wherein said box sidewall forms an inner corner partially separating said first wiring compartment from said second wiring compartment, said divider abutting against said corner to divide said first and second wiring compartments.
4. An outlet box as defined in Claim 3, wherein said divider includes a groove formed in a lateral edge thereof for receiving said inner corner of said box.
5. An outlet box as defined in Claim 1, wherein said box floor and sidewall form a box interior having a generally rectangular central space and four generally rectangular compartments extending diametrically outward from said central space, said compartments defining said first and second wiring compartments and further defining third and fourth wiring compartments.
6. An outlet box as defined in Claim 1, further comprising a panel disposed between said box floor and said cover for enclosing at least one of said first and second wiring compartments, and wherein said divider includes an abutment surface for abutting said panel thereagainst.
7. An outlet box as defined in Claim 1, wherein said divider includes an aperture formed in an upper edge thereof for securing the divider to said cover.
8. An outlet box as defined in Claim 1, wherein said divider includes a plurality of score lines disposed thereon for facilitating adjustment of the height of said divider to match a height of said box sidewall.
9. An outlet box as defined in Claim 8, wherein said score lines comprise creases to facilitate breaking off a portion of said divider.
10. An outlet box assembly for termination of electrical and communication wires comprising:
a box including a floor and a sidewall extending upwardly from said floor, said floor and said sidewall defining an interior having a central space and at least two compartments extending outward from said central space, said sidewall further defining an inner corner partially separating said two wiring compartments;
a cover attached to said box for at least partially enclosing at least one of said two box compartments; and a divider extending between said box floor and said cover and abutting against said box sidewall inner corner to divide said two wiring compartments, said divided box compartments adapted to respectively contain electrical and communication wires therein.
a box including a floor and a sidewall extending upwardly from said floor, said floor and said sidewall defining an interior having a central space and at least two compartments extending outward from said central space, said sidewall further defining an inner corner partially separating said two wiring compartments;
a cover attached to said box for at least partially enclosing at least one of said two box compartments; and a divider extending between said box floor and said cover and abutting against said box sidewall inner corner to divide said two wiring compartments, said divided box compartments adapted to respectively contain electrical and communication wires therein.
11. An outlet box as defined in Claim 10, wherein said divider is attached to said cover.
12. An outlet box as defined in Claim 11, wherein said divider is removably attachable to said cover while said cover is attached to said box.
13. An outlet box as defined in Claim 10, wherein said divider includes a groove formed in a lateral edge thereof for receiving said inner corner of said box.
14. An outlet box as defined in Claim 10, wherein said box floor and sidewall form a box interior having a generally rectangular central space and four generally rectangular compartments extending diametrically outward from said central space, said compartments defining said first and second wiring compartments and further defining third and fourth wiring compartments.
15. An outlet box as defined in Claim 10, further comprising a panel disposed between said box floor and said cover for enclosing at least one of said first and second wiring compartments, and wherein said divider includes an abutment surface for abutting said panel thereagainst.
16. An outlet box as defined in Claim 10, wherein said divider includes an aperture formed in an upper edge thereof for securing the divider to said cover.
17. An outlet box as defined in Claim 10, wherein said divider includes a plurality of score lines disposed thereon for facilitating adjustment of the height of said divider to match a height of said box sidewall.
18. An outlet box as defined in Claim 17, wherein said score lines comprise creases to facilitate breaking off a portion of said divider.
19. A method for separating electrical wires from communication wires contained together in an outlet box assembly comprising the steps of:
forming a box including a floor and a sidewall extending upwardly from said floor, said box defining an interior therein;
attaching a cover to said box to at least partially enclose said interior;
inserting a divider between said box floor and said cover after attachment of said cover to said box for dividing said box interior into first and second wiring compartments;
providing electrical wires in said first wiring compartment; and providing communication wires in said second wiring compartment, wherein said electrical wires are separated from said communication wires by said divider.
forming a box including a floor and a sidewall extending upwardly from said floor, said box defining an interior therein;
attaching a cover to said box to at least partially enclose said interior;
inserting a divider between said box floor and said cover after attachment of said cover to said box for dividing said box interior into first and second wiring compartments;
providing electrical wires in said first wiring compartment; and providing communication wires in said second wiring compartment, wherein said electrical wires are separated from said communication wires by said divider.
20. A method as defined in Claim 19, further comprising the step of attaching said divider to said cover.
21. A method as defined in Claim 19, wherein said divider insertion step comprises the step of abutting an inside corner of said divider against an inner corner of said box sidewall formed between said first and second wiring components.
22. A method as defined in Claim 19, further comprising the step of removing a portion of said divider to adjust the height thereof prior to insertion between said box floor and said cover.
23. A method as defined in Claim 19, further comprising the step of installing a panel to enclose one of said first and second wiring components, wherein said panel is abutted against an abutment surface of said divider.
