Dumb Question

[jhawkbb]

Had a customer ask about different options that they had to add light to the outside of their building which got me to thinking: is there a round metal cut in box for commercial application? One that accepts mc connectors. I'm sure there is but we have not used one in my almost two years in the trade.

Also do yourself a favor and purchase a 4-1/8" hole saw for those round metal boxes.

... round metal boxes.

FWIW, the boxes I provided links to are octagon boxes... which are not to be mistaken for round boxes.

FWIW if I ask my supplier for 4" round boxes I will get octagons nit picking not withstanding.

I know many use round and octagon interchangeably... and sometimes nit picking is required.
