Abstract
An electrical box protection device is provided. The device is designed to safeguard nonmetallic sheathed cables and associated electrical boxes from mechanical damage incurred during or after building construction. The device comprises a body formed by a first member and a second member that intersect at an angle, preferably ninety degrees, to create a rigid barrier. The body comprises predrilled holes in symmetric or asymmetric patterns for secure attachment to various framing materials using standard mechanical fasteners. Optional features include a grounding component configured with a grounding lug, tab, or conductive strap and a designated area for ground wire attachment. Additional configurations may comprise a cable guide groove to direct the cable into the electrical box with minimal strain and visual indicators such as compliance markings and orientation symbols to support proper installation.
