raider1 Senior Member Staff member Location Logan, Utah Sep 30, 2010 #2 Class 2 and 3 circuits are not required to meet the requirements of Chapter 3 unless specifically reference in Article 725. So short answer, if you are using a Class 2 or 3 wiring method you are not required to splice the conductors in a box. Chris
