THE WILD WORLD OF ELECTRICAL SLANG
Author: Electrical Slang Website Let’s see if you know some of
these other electrical slang terms.
FIRE RING
This is an open bottomed octagon ring that gets cemented into the building floor (deck) after being nailed to the wood sub flooring.
By using back plates and covers,
it becomes a complete deck box and is available in depths from 2"
to 6" with knockouts from 1/2" to
1". It is called a concrete ring when it is extending an existing mud box and it can be called a mud box when it has a back plate and serves as a mud box. A classic mud box, however, comes as one unit with the back plate welded in place.
GUN SLINGER
The device that a power blower shoots through a conduit system when fishing the initial line. It typically has a hard plastic core with a flexible foam body that fits a specific pipe size. It comes in 1/2" through 6" conduit sizes and has a loop at both ends to attach the fish line.
HEADACHE
Any item falling down from a pole; or vocally expressing caution because of danger.
MIB
This is an insulated throat metal bushing that when used in conjunction with a locknut, affixes GAL or IMC to a metal enclosure and provides abrasion protection to the wire insulation. It comes in die-cast or malleable iron with a plastic insulator.
