IP66 Black Weatherproof Outdoor / External Junction Box Complete With Connector

I bought these to add to my CCTV setup and house the camera side connections. I bought 4 and they work really well, a nice firm seal around the lid, my only complaint is the lack of exterior mounting options, I ended up drilling through the base and screwing to the wall before filling the hole with silicone and adding a bead around the edge where it meets the wall.All in 3 months down the line and the insides are all dry, no cameras have failed so I'd say a success and definitely worth the money.

Came complete with good quality terminal and wall connector inside.They are working for 2 month under English weather without any problems now.Good for DIY, not sure if you can use them for more rigid, heavy traffic places as they can be broken with a bit of pressure. So if you have kids walking on them or basketball kicking it, they won't last

Pros:Holes have been filled with separately injected rubber compound, so seals well.Box is supplied with a 5 way terminal block and a rear clip for mounting - this can be screwed down first then the box is clipped to it.Design is quite chunky and tough.ConsOnce a rubber plug has been removed it's hard to then clear the plastic from around the thread to allow the cable gland to be screwed in fully, and there's not much depth of thread.Once the gland is screwed on it seems easy to damage the thread. Having stripped a thread I ended up using PTFE tape to pack it out to stop the gland rotating freely.It's a little difficult to secure the lid with the rotating catches.There wasn't enough room to get the back nut on the gland inside the box.Overall I though it was good value for money and, with the PTFE bodge, worked for my project

Refitting kitchen in industrial style.,exposed conduit etc.Was going to order more expensive items from another supplier.tiik the gamble in ordering these boxesI am delighted with them, quality product that works in internally aaa well as externally.

These junction boxes are okay for me as I am using them inside a dry shed that may just have some condensation every now and again, but I wouldn't want to fully test the IP rating on these.The main problem with them is that the lids fit quite poorly. The corner screws don't really hold the lid on tight enough for my liking. A secondary concern is using the rubber push through access holes at the sides. To keep the IP rating on these I think you would need to use glands which in my mind means that the unit itself shouldn't be claiming the ip rating.All that said, they are perfect for my needs and cheap. I will just make sure they stay dry.

Bought these for a CCTV project I did.Cameras were easily mounted onto the box as well as the boxes themselves to a hard exterior wall.Even with the heavy rain we we've experienced recently these boxes seem to be holding up really well!If you're really concerned about water tightness then you could always add a dab of silicone, but in my opinion and experience this isn't needed.Great value for money and half the price of others for what seems to be great quality.All round happy!

I don't always write reviews but I felt this product deserved it. I normally use the cheaper grey coloured IP rated junction boxes but was looking for something black to match my gates fittings and there is not a great deal of options within a reasonable range. The bottom line I was impressed,easy to remove cover (simple locking screws) rather than the fiddly lever it off type, robust, comes with terminal block that sits nicely in the box and also a fixing bracket for easy fitting / removal though can still use the traditional fixing method - screws in each corner. Cant really fault it and and for a good price as well.

I bought this as a buried junction box in my garden.The unit itself is okay and has rubber grommets that you can push your cable through.I cut them out and used a proper connector, but can see how the rubber can work.The problem I had, is the small plastic clip which holds the top on, is a bit weak and if you over tighten slightly, it will just break off.That being said, if I had taken my time it probably wouldn't have broken.
