What are Pop boxes actually called?

[KyleFowler]

I was trying to find one to show to a friend and Google is no help. The supply house even calls them pop boxes on their ticket. I know they are called something else but I can't remember lol. Thanks in advance

Never heard of pop boxes, what's the application in which they're used?

 

[KyleFowler]

I'm referring to the box that goes underneath an outdoor panel to cover the Romex wires that tie into the bottom of the panel

Still lost on your description.

Why would you have exposed NM cables outdoors?

 

[infinity]

So it's like some kind of "panel skirt"?

 

[KyleFowler]

I think you are maybe understanding what I'm asking about but Google images isn't picking up on that either. This is like Charades or something

That is what happens since we all use slang terminology.

Is it a junction box, small gutter, some type of device cover?

 

[KyleFowler]

I attached this picture to show I'm not crazy and have bought one before lol. I just wanted to find a picture of it online. You install this cover over the wires that tie into the bottom of an outdoor panel that come out of the exterior wall of the house

They're made by Legrand. There was a post on them a while back.

 

[KyleFowler]

No but thanks for trying

Edit: Just saw jumper's post. Am I on the entirely wrong track? Hmpf, wouldn't be the first time.

Isn’t the whole state of New Jersey on the wrong side of the tracks?

I’m kidding! Please don’t send fellas with too many vowels in their names after me......

 

[jumper]

So, post 5 has the right idea then.

 

[KyleFowler]

Yes he's on the right track and I know at one time you could buy them at Home Depot because I remember thinking "so THAT'S what they are really called!" But I was at home depot today and couldn't find them, go figure. I drew another picture to maybe help

How can something like that be legal? If it's a raceway, you can't have NM in it.

Not sure, maybe as an enclosure with wall making one side? IDK, a bit sketchy for a wet location IMO.

 

[KyleFowler]

It it is an enclosure where the back wall of the house makes one side and the top side is the bottom of the outdoor panel. I swear I could drive around tomorrow and find one they are not uncommon here in TN
