I have one line coming from an outlet and need to branch it to two lines. Can i use a standard electrical box (blue PVC) as a junction box to branch an electrical line?

Why can't you put the splice in the outlet box? – Tester101 May 26 '15 at 14:03

You can do what you want, as long as...
- The box remains accessible.
- The box is fitted with a proper cover.
That being said, it may be more appropriate to make the splice in an existing box (assuming the box is large enough for the additional conductors).

Unfortunately I don't have enough room in an existing box. I actually wired these this weekend but the circuit isnt hot yet (need to change it from 220 to 110). I used a single gang pvc box and placed a blank outlet cover over it for now. – Steve Salowitz May 26 '15 at 14:49
