Abstract
A telephone connection box is provided which has an inner lid and an outer lid. The inner lid is slidably and hingedly mounted within the box so that when the lid is opened it can be slid out of the way to permit repairs. One or more inverted L-shaped connection bases are slidably mounted within the box as is a surge protector. A minor connection base is separated from the inverted L-shaped connection base by a dividing wall which provides a seat for the inner lid. A peripheral rubber gasket is provided so that when the outer lid is closed the box will be sealed.
