MAGNETIC PLUGS FOR ELECTRICAL CONTAINMENT ENCLOSURES
20220384075 · 2022-12-01 ·

A magnetic plug and method of plugging unwanted knockout holes in electrical containment enclosures. The method requires only one hand and is performed without tools. Everything can be done from outside the electrical containment enclosure. The actual plugging step is completed in a few seconds. One of nine invented plugs is selected to best match the nine standardized hole diameters found in electrical containment enclosures. Selecting the correct plug size results in the best fit and feel since perception matters. Savings in time and money is expected to pay back the cost of a plug.

NON-METALLIC CONDUIT HUBS
20230096708 · 2023-03-30 ·

Non-metallic conduit hubs are provided herein, having a flange configured for attachment to an electrical box, a receiving member extending from a first side of the flange and defining a bore sized for receiving a conduit, an indexing indicator extending radially outward from the receiving member for providing a tactile indication of an orientation of the conduit hub, and an alignment member extending from a second side of the flange and having an outer diameter sized for insertion into an ingress/egress port of the electrical box, wherein the bore extends through the receiving member, the flange, and the alignment member to facilitate routing of wires from the conduit into the electrical box.

Conduit hub adapter for electrical box

An electrical box having an enclosure and a conduit hub adapter that is configured to engage a portion of the enclosure. The enclosure defines an opening that is configured to receive an electrical power conductor. The conduit hub adapter is movable with respect to the enclosure from a disengaged position to an engaged position. A retainer may be positioned adjacent the opening to engage the conduit hub adapter when in the engaged position and secure the conduit hub adapter to the enclosure. The conduit hub adapter may be configured for engagement with the enclosure in a single orientation. The retainer may be configured so that it may only be disengaged from the conduit hub adapter from within an interior space of the enclosure. The enclosure may have a second opening with a second conduit hub adapter configured to engage the enclosure adjacent the second opening.

Exit light with plug-in housing
