Yes, provided that the metal plugs are recessed at least 1/4" from the outer surface of the enclosure. Take a look at the last sentence of 110.12(A). Chris

N nunu161 Senior Member Location NEPA Feb 20, 2009 #6 What type of plastic box is it nail-on or a larger junction box (for a wet location)? if its just a nail-on box their inexpensive i'd probably just junk it and put on a new one all together. If a larger type of box i would just buy the hoffman seal. Last edited: Feb 20, 2009
