This is an IP65 terminal junction box for making cable joints in damp, dusty or outdoor locations. It comes in black or white. Strip connectors are already fitted, so the joint can be made and closed without a separate terminal block. Threaded knockouts take cable glands and keep the rating intact. A fast mounting clip fixes the box to a wall, a joist or a post without opening it first. IP65 means the box is dust tight and protected against water jets.

Getting the IP65 Rating
An IP65 box only performs to IP65 if the entries are glanded properly and the lid seal is seated and screwed down evenly. A knockout opened and left unglanded drops the whole enclosure to no rating at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this junction box be used outdoors?
A: Yes. It is rated IP65, so it is dust tight and protected against water jets, as long as the entries are glanded and the lid is screwed down evenly.
Q: Does the IP65 junction box come with connectors?
A: Yes. Strip connectors are supplied, so no separate terminal block is needed.
Q: Are cable glands included?
A: No glands are listed as supplied. The box has threaded knockouts that take glands, and every opened knockout needs one to keep the IP65 rating.
Q: What colours does it come in?
A: Black or white. Black suits soffits, fencing and dark render, and white suits painted walls and soffit boards.
Q: Do I need an electrician to fit an outdoor junction box?
A: Yes. Outdoor joints are part of the fixed wiring, so in Ireland they should be made by a registered electrician.
