What happens when you have more than 4 conductors to splice in a box like this, what do you use to make the splice?If you must splice more than 4 (5 if you count the ground) you have to use some sort of wirenut and make a splice beside the terminal posts. Remember, this is a pretty old model of junction box so we don’t use it everyday.
Have a pic (I provides you with a lot of extra work Bill)of a more modern waterproof box made of plastic. This one has 6 terminal screws and if you like (I do) you remove the terminal posts and use wirenuts instead. I prefer the “ Screwless spring pressure” models from the Wago Corp (the small pictures to the right). Very easy to use and never any problems with bad connections which sometimes could be the case with the twist on wirenut. Do you use Wago over there?
