ABSTRACT:
An electrical box suitable for safely and efficiently housing an electrical connection. The electrical box comprises a bottom and a plurality of adjacent side walls, each side wall being at least partially joined to the bottom and to each adjacent side wall to form an open box. Each side wall has a top edge wherein the top edges define an open box perimeter. A top is hingedly joined to one the top edges of one the side walls and is adapted to be moveable from an open position to a closed position. At least one the side walls comprises at least one notch, the notch comprising deformable plastic members that can be biased in an open position to define a conductor opening to receive at least one of the electrical conductors, the conductor opening being at least partially defined by the top when the top is in the closed position.
