NEC 502
Can you install a Bell box and gasketed blank cover in a Class 2 Div. 2 Group F, G locations?
-With taps in the box not just a pull box.

What about a class 2 div 1 Group E,F location?

What about receptacles in a Class 2 Div 2 Group F, G locations.
-I have interpretted NEC502.145 that there is not any type of receptacle except a hazardous location receptacle, or has anyone used something different in this location.

Thank you for the help.
 
Enclosure Types 3, 3S, 3SX, 3X, 5, 12, 12K, or 13 (dusttight) are suitable (and required) for all Class II, Division 2 applications [See Section 502.10(B)(4)] and, depending on the NEC edition, the notes to Table 110.20 or 110.28]

In addition Class II, Division 1 must have, as a minimum, threaded bosses (basically to make sure five threads engage). Where there are taps, joints, connections or Group E applications, the boxes must be identified for Class II. Generally this means listed/labled and marked by the manufacture for Class II.[See Section 502.10(A)(1)(4)] Note: all Group E applications are Division 1.

Class II, Division 2 receptacles do not necessarily require specific Class II identification (although it's not a bad idea). An enclosure otherwise suitable for Class II, Division 2 with connections for the equipment grounding conductor of the flexible cord and designed so that connections to the supply circuit cannot be made or broken while live parts are exposed would be suitable. [See Section 500.8(A)]
