How do I set up wall lights fixture around drinking water pipes?

Qusetions: I would like to set up a wall lights fixture in a very bathroom and also have it centered about a mirror. There is actually a stud behind the sheet rock where by the fixture requirements to get centered. Copper drinking water pipes run along each and every aspect of your stud and connect to your sink under the mirror. I have a very metal pancake box but i'm worried about employing it in these shut proximity to your drinking water pipes. The home wiring is three wire (black, white & ground). The light fixture also includes a ground wire. Can I make use of the metal pancake box? It almost certainly wouldn't be touching the pipes but may be inside 1/2 inch...maybe significantly less. really should I be employing a plastic pancake? many thanks!

Answers:Metal box is very good just be certain to ground it as demanded, if simply to ease your thoughts you are able to use a plastic pancake box but theres no requirement for it, I myself have hung numerous lights this shut to plumbing on metal boxes.

Having that several wires will likely be to substantially for this, you might will need to caculate the amout of wire inside of the box, each and every #14 conductor will get two.00cu inches of box fill, #12 will get two.25cu inches of box fill Count the Grounds as a person both getting #14 or #12 based on what dimension wire you've got while in the box so when you have two blacks, two whites along with the Ground in #14 you can have 10cu inches of wanted box room and eleven.25cu inches for # twelve wire The Cubic inches of room really should be stamped or printed about the inside of of your box you might be seeking to make use of.

Answers:It's very good. just make all connections while in the box or light as regular. so far as the piping goes. In most homes the drinking water lines are grounded really properly and don't pose a likely danger.


I"m unsure if it truly is all gonna match! Pancakes are quite little. If it absolutely was a "light bar" you may move the box to a person aspect that might nevertheless be coated through the fixture and use an "Old work" box that won't will need to get connected to your stud. Then yet again, you would not even will need a box mainly because a connector would attach to your fixtur back again plate.
You could also search up "Ceiling fan boxes". I've viewed some that might actualy wrap about the stud providing area on each and every aspect for making connections.
