Surface mount junction box and pull switch

JDW

I need to surface mount a 4 terminal junction box & pull switch with plastic trunking, I don’t like using the cheap junction boxes (or plastic trunking) but it needs to be white as it’s on a ceiling.

I’ve got the fire clips for the trunking, but does the cable need to be secured in the JB and pull switch?

    No, the cable does not have to be secured in the switch box or junction box. If you use a deep urea formaldehyde surface pattress (hard white type) it will be fire resistant anyway and if fixed with wood screws into a ceiling joist it will be very securely affixed, along with its cable.

    Z.
