Hello:
Will be installing a flood light on my deck.
Have purchased two of those outdoor rated Aluminum type of boxes, and some PVC tubing and connectors, and am all set to go.
Was wondering a bit about those outdoor boxes.
They will be mounted on the siding to take the wires that will go thru the wall and direct them upward into the PVC pipe to where the light will be. Then another similar box hold the light, etc.
The boses are sealed with an Aluminum cover plate and a gasket.
My concern is that over the course of a few years, the gasket will of course become brittle, and it seems like rain can then easily seep in.
Would it make any sense to drill a small "weep hole" in the bottom of the box so that if any water does get in from a malfunctioning gasket, it has a way to get out ?
Thanks, Bob
