maintaince free junction box

[diyterry]

Are maintaince free junction boxes safe to use under floor boards? Will one rated at 32 amps be suitable for use on a ring main? Any brands you recommend?

 

[suffolkspark]

Yes and yes, hager or wagos+wagobox

Do you have test equipment?

You could peruse this web site. I take no responsibility for your actions, if you are not competent to carry out this work. Do not try and sue me, if it all goes Pete Tong.

I exhaust all other avenues before putting maintenance free (MF) junction boxes under floorboards as, put simply, it's never going to be as good as a continuous length of cable. However, sometimes you have to.

I use wagobox http://www.wago.ltd.uk/enclosures/wagobox/ (not wagobox light as these are not MF). Plus they require a cable tie around them in the given slot to be deemed MF. Also they must only be used with correct wago terminals for the given box.

Don't do it.

You may live to regret it or maybe not.

Wouldn't dream of it, I always take full responsibility for all the work I do, just after a bit of advice.

(not wagobox light as these are not MF).

I didn't realise the light ones were not MF?

What deems a junction box MF? Is it printed on the product?

Page 9 gives the definition
MF symbol will be on the enclosure.

Yes, the manufacturer will print MF on it, as long as it's not a dodgy brothers fake

In the past someone has connected a lighting circuit to the ring main via a switched and fused surface mounted box, this is now obsolete, so I'd like to remove it to tidy the wall up.
