Not only this, a blank cover plate should be utilized for covering if junction boxes contain spliced wires without any devices.
One should always make sure that the front-edge flush of the electrical boxes is installed with the surface of the ceiling or the wall. In addition to this, if the distance or the space that is present between the box's edge and the finished surface comes out to be more than 1/8th of an inch, then the need of the box extender is felt and its installation should be done.
The depth of the electrical boxes is also very important. One must see to the fact that the electrical box is deep enough that crowding of wires is not done. The depth of the electrical box should be so much that one can easily find space for installing a switch or a receptacle without damaging the wiring.

While the counting of the wires is done, the count of the fixture or the device should be done as a single wire. It is always advisable and safe to utilize a large sized box unless one has less room in the ceiling or the wall.
