JUNCTION BOXES

SAFETY WARNING

Before use please read carefully and use in accordance with these safety

wiring instructions.

Before commencing any electrical work ensure the supply is switched off

at the mains, either by switching off the consumer unit or by removing

the appropriate fuse.

Wiring should be in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE

regulations (BS 7671).

Wire Identification – Twin & Earth Cable

Note - As from 1st April 2004 new colour codes for hard wire installations

was introduced.

EARTH = GREEN/YELLOW Sleeving

BLACK (pre Apr 04) / BLUE (after Apr 04) = NEUTRAL

RED (pre Apr 04) / BROWN (after Apr 04) = LIVE

The ends of the individual conductors should have the insulation removed

by approx. 10mm. Any bare earth conductors should be sleeved to within

10mm of the ends. (These details are for general information only and

conductor lengths may need to be trimmed in certain installations).

For lighting circuits, use sleeving of the appropriate ‘live’ colour to ensure

clear identification of live connections.

See diagram for typical lighting circuit wiring using 4-way junction box.

To prevent fire hazard always use cable of the correct rating and type.

JUNCTION BOX – GENERAL ADVICE

The terminals of Junction Boxes can be used for any polarity.

Remove the central screw and remove cover to expose terminals.

In multi-terminal junction boxes, take care to use only one polarity in any

one group of terminals.

Position the way the cable lies, so as to pass through one of the apertures

in the side of the base.

For Selective Entry boxes selecting the apertures to be used by rotating

the guide marked on the lid.

When cable installations are complete, position the cover so as to block off

the cable entry apertures not used in the base and tighten the screw.

Alternatively for non-selective junction boxes the required apertures can be

easily broken away using apair of pliers and with minimal force. Clean

edges to remove any sharp edges.

If in doubt consult a competent electrician.
