Sectional "gem" boxes in new construction? I thought we left the 1960's behind 40+ years ago.

cool, looks like a neat idea if they are as easy to install as the other options.

Just use a regular 1900. When you bring in the conduits pull the box square then tighten the set screws on the connectors. This holds it nice and straight. Plus the cover will assist some too. On big jobs we could not account for these fancy special made boxes. We made do with what we had. Cases of boxes and master bundles of conduit.
