I snapped this pic a couple of weeks ago and recommended the open j-box have a cover installed. The seller’s response is “there are no splices, so it does not need a cover. The wires pass through the box into the conduit.”
The red and white THHN/THWN wires need to be protected, right? So if there are no splices, than the box needs a cover, AND there needs to be conduit extended from the box to where the red and white wire terminate. Is that correct?
You are correct. Any box or conduit body that contains individual conductors, splices or not, must have a cover. I can dig you up the code citation if you want that.
That’s what I see.
Someone added what looks like an 8/3NM cable to a conduit with TW(?) conductors already in it. Likely overfilling the conduit to boot.
I find open j-boxes all the time. I have a standard blurb for it (I think it came from RR’s great collection).
**Junction boxes with missing cover plates were observed ( ). Open junction boxes can be a fire hazard and could be lethal to small creatures (and large creatures, too) that may come in contact with the wiring. **
