A floor box for housing electrical components comprising:
- a bottom wall having a first knockout and a second knockout;
- a plurality of walls extending from the bottom wall to at least partially define
- an interior and to at least partially define a central opening accessible to a user;
- a top plate connected to at least one of the plurality of walls;
- a first wiring compartment facing the central opening;
- a second wiring compartment facing the central opening opposite the first wiring compartment;
- a third wiring compartment facing the central opening opposite the first wiring compartment and positioned adjacent to the second wiring compartment;
- a first panel positioned in front of the first wiring compartment;
- a second panel positioned in front of the second wiring compartment;
- and
- a third panel positioned in front of the third wiring compartment,
- wherein the first knockout provides selective access to the second wiring compartment and the second knockout provides selective access to the third wiring compartment.
