Electrical plastic box, commonly known as the workhorse of electrical repairs and remodels serves as an end or transition point for all the electrical cables.

Here’s everything you need to know about the electrical plastic boxes and why they should be used!

Plastic which is made of polyvinyl chloride or you may say PVC is leading the trend with becoming the standard material for electrical boxes and this is especially for the ones who prefer the do-it-yourselves job.

Plastic boxes come with a list of pros like it is lightweight, inexpensive, and quite easy to work with. These points make it our first choice every single time. At the same time, the holes in plastic boxes are quite easy to punch out in the back or sides. On the other hand, PVC can melt when exposed to sufficiently high temperatures, but the best thing is that it does not conduct electricity. Also, many of the plastic boxes come with built-in clamps for the wires which help in lowering the cost of the overall project.

Why use the electrical plastic boxes?

We recommend you to use an electrical plastic box as they are non-conductive. This clearly means that they won’t conduct electricity even if they’re touched by a live wire. One of the best things about these boxes is that they don’t need to be grounded. There is no need for a ground connection to the box itself.

Plastic boxes are a great choice to opt for as they are easy to install in most of the situations. If there is any new construction where the wall studs or ceilings are exposed, these can be perfectly installed without any hindrance. All you have to do is simply hold the box against the wood framing and drive those nails that already come pre-attached to the box. For your convenience, they also have markings on the side to set the proper depth.

These boxes have integrated cable clamps. They are usually in the form of little spring tabs which are there to hold the electrical cable snug after it’s inserted into the box.

When it comes to the cost of the electrical plastic box, these are pretty inexpensive. And when it comes to choosing between metal and plastic, the coin always flips on the side of plastic! And the reason is that plastic boxes usually don’t need clamps and that is what saves them a tad bit more.

If you search for them online or read about them, you will find that these are growing in popularity with speed. Some of the reports say that the manufacture of different plastic enclosures all over the world will go beyond limits in the upcoming years. Overall, plastic is something that brings many benefits for the people who use electronic products like computers and items similar to that. It also solves the installation needs of most of the people as it is available in different types. And if you step outside, you are likely to find plastic cages almost everywhere around you.

These were some good reasons for choosing electrical plastic over anything else. So, by now you must be convinced that Electrical box accessories are always a win-win situation!
