Yes, grounding a junction box (j box) or pull box is typically required even if there is no splice or connection inside. The National Electrical Code (NEC) mandates that all boxes, whether containing splices or not, should be grounded to ensure safety and prevent electrical hazards. Grounding provides a path for fault current and helps in the proper functioning of overcurrent protection devices. Always consult local codes and regulations for specific requirements.

The metal junction boxes that we are installing receptacles in have no ground screw just holes in the back for mounting and knockouts How do you properly ground j boxes?

Make your own ground screw. Use a #8 x 1/2"or #10 x 1/2" sheet metal pan head screw and screw it into one of the holes in the back of the box. In the back of the box you might see a raised portion where the original ground screw came out of, use that hole. Wrap the ground wire around the pan head screw and it will tighten up very nicely and make a good ground.
