Does my box have enough cubic inches?

Let's see...1 device and (3) #12's and... oh well, I could never figure that out.

I'll just make sure I have it covered:

If Steel City only made a 7-12" plaster ring
Here's you change to become a millionaire.. develop an "adjustable plaster ring"

Looks like the original box at the back was fed with a deck pipe and then they built a wall in front of it. Not a problem if they have the correct free conductor length.

Or if someone could invent an expandable box, that would be nice!!

I doubt if they had enough conductor length to comply with code, but I could be wrong. And I'm sure you are right: a new wall was built out in front of the old block wall, and the box was extended then.

At first, it seems like there has to be a better way. But the obvious problem is that the old box becomes a pull point, and therefore the old box must remain accessible.

Is there an easier way? If not you would think someone would invent something that would be better than stacking multiple boxes.

I think it unlikely that the free conductors are long enough here, and I bet it is a bunch of fun trying to splice wires one-handed that deep into a box with a single gang mud ring on it.


looks like a demo project, the whole thing may be going away anyway
