Cantex EZ20CN Ceiling Box 20 Cu in New Work Nail-on

Product Description

The CANTEX EZ20CN is a 20 cubic inch new-work ceiling box designed for residential and light commercial ceiling installations. Built for new construction, this nail-on box mounts directly to ceiling joists using enhanced angled nails that drive flush without pre-drilling. Six integrated wire clamps secure branch circuit conductors inside the box, keeping wiring organized and code-compliant. Licensed electricians install this box during the rough-in phase before drywall is hung. The EZ20CN is a practical, no-frills solution for standard ceiling fixture and fan-rated rough-in work.

This ceiling box is suited for residential single-family and multifamily new construction as well as light commercial projects where standard ceiling box sizing applies. Typical applications include ceiling light fixture rough-in, junction box installations, and similar overhead electrical work. The nail-on design speeds up installation on wood-framed ceiling structures, making it a common choice for production framing and tract home builds. No separate hardware is required for mounting to standard dimensional lumber joists.

Key Features

• 20 cubic inch interior volume meets NEC conductor fill requirements for standard residential rough-in

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician during the rough-in phase of construction, prior to drywall installation. Shut off branch circuit power at the panel before making any wiring connections. Verify conductor fill compliance with NEC Article 314 based on wire gauge and number of conductors. Secure the box to ceiling framing so it is flush with the planned finish ceiling surface to allow proper fixture or cover plate seating.
