ABSTRACT:
A junction box is disclosed that has a centrally located housing with a bottom and four sides joined to form a closed perimeter. One or two receptacle boxes also having bottoms are attached to and surround the housing. The boxes enclose outlets and the cable and wire connections to the outlets, which may be accessed through the centrally located housing. A cover above the receptacle boxes completely encloses the outlets, preventing water and the like from entering the junction box and shorting any electrical connections. Frames sized to accept various types and sizes of outlets slide into tracks located within the receptacle boxes in order to position the outlets easily and securely, yet removably, within the junction box.
