Replacing electrical box, what size to use?
Adding a wallmounted TV in my basement, I wanted to run power from an
existing outlet 3' below where the TV will be. I have the holes cut and the Romex run, but the original receptacle is fed by AC cable into a metal box (obviously). 4 conductors total, with a receptacle and one clamp. If I feed power to the new TV outlet, that will be another 2 conductors and another clamp. So basically what size box is now recommended (required?), for 6 conductors, 2 clamps, and a receptacle? I found something on Racos site that pointed at 22.5 cu in required, but I wasnt absolutely sure about their chart Thanks in advance! -Chris |
