Using PVC box for indoor use
I'm in Canada is there any issue to use a PVC box indoor in my shop basement? cable is already there but was never terminated (Romex 14/2). I have one of those box with matching cover plate that I bought last summer but didn't use it https://www.google.ca/search?q=pvc+e...tm%3B200%3B200

Welcome to the forums!
There are a lot of boxes on the page you linked to. Is this the one you have? If so, yes, you can use that box indoors. You will need to mount is securely on the face of the wall and run PVC conduit with individual conductors to feed it.

One more thing Since the box is PVC do I need to ground the box as well with the ground screw on the box?

Awesome thanks!! That's what I tough wouldn't make any sense to ground a plastic box since it actually would isolate it. Now my next question why the ground screw on those boxes?

Do I need the conduit?
the box came with strain relief 'plugs"
Since the box is PVC do I need to ground the box as well with the ground screw on the box?
Can you also post a picture of the "ground screw?"
