What is the maximum number of 6 AWG conductors that may be installed in a 6 x 4 x 2 inch pull?

To determine the maximum number of 6 AWG conductors that can be installed in a pull box with the given dimensions, it's essential to consider the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines regarding conductor fill in boxes and enclosures.

The NEC provides specific fill requirements based on the size of the conductors and the volume of the box. For 6 AWG conductors, each conductor occupies a specific volume. Typically, for a 6 AWG wire, the fill requirement is about 2.0 cubic inches per conductor.

To calculate the total volume of the pull box, you can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular box:

Volume = length x width x height.

In this case, the dimensions are 6 inches in length, 4 inches in width, and 2 inches in height:

Volume = 6 in x 4 in x 2 in = 48 cubic inches.

Next, you divide the total volume of the box by the volume required per conductor:

Total number of conductors = Total volume of box / Volume per conductor.

Using the values:

Total number of conductors = 48 cubic inches / 2 cubic inches per conductor = 24.

However, the NEC also requires that the box not
