Hello all:
I am planning to rewire my home built in 1950.
The current junction box at an outlet measures 3x2x2, and meets the current volume requirements.
However, when I look at the 314.16(B) table, I see 4" as the height.
Do I have to replace the junction boxes since the height does not match?
Also, does the neutral get counted in the number of wires coming into a box? In other words, If I have a ROMEX® cable coming in, and another one going out of a box, do I use 4 or 6 wires in looking up volume requirements?
Thanks!
