ABSTRACT:
When insulated electrical wires are to be drawn into electrical junction boxes and beyond through metal electrical conduit boxes, an electrical wire guide, made of plastic, serves to first guide the hook end of a metal fish tape out of a junction box, and then to guide its return carrying with it one or more insulated electrical wires through the electrical metal conduit to the next junction box. The electrical wire guide directs the insulated electrical wire or wires into and out of the electrical junction box without these wires making any direct contact with the junction box. The electrical wire guide has several integral portions in the order of: a top hollow cylindrical exit portion guiding the wire or wires directly into the conduit, where the conduit is secured to the junction box; a slightly tapered hollow guiding portion which remains essentially in line with the electrical conduit; a slightly tapering, guiding, bending, hollow portion to redirect the electrical insulated wire or wires en route from outside the junction box; and a slightly tapering, guiding, receiving, and positioning portion, to receive the insulated electrical wire or wires, while this receiving portion firmly contacts the bottom edge of the junction box to hold this electrical wire guide in place.
