Abstract:
1. A junction box assembly for providing an air impermeable barrier between a box support structure and a junction enclosure, the junction box assembly comprising, in combination: at least one fastener and an electrical junction box, said fastener having a fastener head, the junction box comprising a base plate and a peripheral wall, the peripheral wall extending from the base plate such that the base plate and peripheral wall define the junction enclosure, the base plate comprising a series of fastener-receiving apertures and a series of fastener-based aperture-covering slugs, the fastener-based aperture-covering slugs being attached to the base plate adjacent the fastener-receiving apertures thereby covering the fastener-receiving apertures and providing said air impermeable barrier, the fastener-based aperture-covering slugs being selectively detachable from the base plate via an implement for selectively exposing the series of fastener-receiving apertures, the selectively exposed fastener-receiving apertures for receiving said fastener, said fastener head for re-sealing the selectively exposed fastener-receiving apertures when fastening the junction box to the box support structure thereby providing said air impermeable barrier between the box support structure and the junction enclosure.
