Abstract:
A protective electrical junction box assembly and method of splicing which eliminates the expense and timed needed to pull new wire to add new wire or an electrical device to pre-existing wiring is disclosed. In use, a first protective sheath surrounding a first set of pre-existing electrical wires is separated to expose the first set of wires. The exposed portion of these wires is placed into apertures of a protective junction box. The separated ends of the first sheath are attached to the junction box. A portion of the second set of typically new wires is placed into the junction box. The second sheath surrounding these wires is also attached to the junction box. The first set of electrical wires are then spliced to the second set of wires within the junction box before covering and securing the junction box in place.
