You must leave your box accessable you can't just bury everything in the ceiling. They do make deeper boxes than 1 1/2, try an electrical supply store.

Right on! Now, I'm having enough trouble getting 4x NMD90 in a 4" octagon 1 1/2" deep. How in tar nation does one get 7 in there????? Do they sell electrician's shoe hornsA 4" x 1 1/2 octagon box is rated for 7 #14 conductors minus clamps, hickys and such. Can you switch the box and install a 4" x 2 1/8" box which is rated for 10 #14 conductors?
Hi Jim:I don't even think that box would be big enough. They count wire nuts as box fill in Canada.
For this post I am going to assume that NMD is like our NM (romex).Right on! Now, I'm having enough trouble getting 4x NMD90 in a 4" octagon 1 1/2" deep. How in tar nation does one get 7 in there????? Do they sell electrician's shoe horns![]()
