DIY electrical box - non metal wire sheathing
Hi!
I’m replacing a older plastic electrical junction box in the ceiling (used for a light fixture) with a metal box on a ceiling fan brace.
Since the wires have non metal sheathing, what would be the best option to bring the wire into the metal box and pass an ESA rough in inspection ?
The metal box comes with u shaped metal clamps but I’m thinking a rubber bushing might be more appropriate to prevent the sharp edges of the metal box opening from cutting the sheathing. Any experienced electricians or homeowners willing to help out a new electrical DIYer?
