Who buries these boxes? Is it up to code? I can't see how that box is designed for foot traffic.

Here we go.... :whistling2::laughing:

I use those boxes all the time but locate them inside of flower beds or next to the curb....

 

[drspec]

Is that in Long Island?

B4T probably has a map for it. :laughing:

¿Quién coño entierra una caja como la que aquí!

Doesn't look buried to me. :whistling2:

But I would be concerned if there's gonna be vehicles driving on it.

I figured it looked like the top would be flush with grade. So these boxes are listed for foot traffic? That would be good to know when compared to the cost of quazite.

Some people will call it a blueprint... I guess you have never worked with those before..

 

[MTW]

I would never use them in any area that's subject to damage or foot traffic.

 

[Rollie73]

I was forced to deal with about 20 of them in a grocery store remodel. Somehow the original installer got away with setting them in the concrete floor with the PVC cover flush with the floor.

The store manager was getting tired of replacing the covers after a shopping cart cracked it or one of the pallet jacks fell thru it.:laughing:

I had 1/4" thick stainless steel diamond plate covers made for the boxes and set them all in place. That's almost four years ago now and not one broken one yet.

You mean prints that have an engineers stamp of approval on them? :whistling2:

And you grounded them?

:laughing:

Just out of curiosity, is it a restaurant? Possibly feed through run for a speaker/ menu board and continues out to parking lot lighting? Just a suggestion.

We use them all the time.

If it lands in a desert landscaped space, we just install them an inch or two above grade. If there is traffic, we put the appropriate box over it.

To protect from lawn mowers:

To protect from cars/trucks:

 

[NacBooster29]

So you have a j box inside a hand hole? Why ??

 

[Electrical Student]

possibly temporary???

I do not think it would stand up to the traffic on my pattio. With kids bikes, scooters and skates. So i would not install it on someone elses. If it was rated for it or not. It would be cracked in a week here.

Its a mcdonalds. They are removing the playland there.

Some are listed for burial but they have no foot traffic rating.

I would never choose to use one, you can get small plastic handholes that are much stronger and made for the purpose.

 

[Rollie73]

And you grounded them?

Had no choice but to bond them to ground. Had a 1/4" stud welded on to each cover plate......ran a #10 green with a ring terminal on end from the stud to the egc that was running through each box. IIRC, connected that end of the #10 to the egc with a split bolt.

It is a pain in the ass coiling 8' of #10 green back into the box every time you remove the cover for service but..........
