How to Install Junction Boxes

Once the wires are covered, it's time to install a cover plate. The wires must now be formed into the box so that the cover will go on effortlessly and the mounting screws don't screw into the wire insulation. Tuck the wires into place and place the cover over the two mounting screws. Tighten the screws and you're ready to turn the circuit back on. After restoring power, go to the device that the splice is feeding and make sure that the circuit is indeed on. If so, you have successfully installed a junction box and made your home safer in doing so.
