Abstract
A pull box for accepting cable in electrical wiring installations includes a main body. The main body includes a first leg, a second leg, and a bridge portion spanning between and interconnecting the first leg and the second leg. The first leg, the second leg, and the bridge portion form a U-shape and define an interior space. The pull box further includes a cover. The cover is movable relative to the housing to transition the pull box between an open state and a closed state. The cover permits access to the interior space when the pull box is in the open state and prevents access to interior space when the pull box is in the closed state
