Default How to use plastic retrofit boxes

I am using blue plastic retrofit boxes. Just to make sure...the tabs
where the wire enters are pushed inward, the the wire is pushed

slip back through..

Am I correct?



Sounds like you understand how the fingers work. Just some tips:

1. Only qualified personnel should ever do 'electrical' work.
2. Plan out the project, this case a box, so you don't have to undo
yourwork. I.E. Pull inserted cables back out.
3. Becareful with the 'fingers' they do break.
4. Take your time, I don't have big hands (neighter big feet )
but it get's crowded quickly inside those remodel boxes.
