Clamp together waterproof Box - Attempt #2

Gel-filled box? e.g.

More variations ...

Interesting. I have a slightly similar problem, the largest looks as though it might just do. I wonder if it is practicable to open them up and alter or add a connection.

Those look ideal if the size is right, but very oddly they are greyed out and I cannot pull up the details. Maybe one needs to log in or something ?

How big is the socket? (got a photo?)

Outside power boxes are sure to be large enough (but probably too large), e.g:

Alternatively would one of the underground cable joint enclosures be big enough?:

Try:

I'm coming in late to the party but I mount my cctv cameras on the lid of a weatherproof electrical box, pass the stub cable through a hole in the lid with silicon sealant. The box is attached to the wall, cat5 cable brought in through a snug hole and terminated into appropriate connectors. Make connections and fit lid to box. Job done. My units fit to 100 x 100 x 85 boxes at about £4 each from eBay but other sizes are available.

Mine are already installed and clamped to the side of cast iron lamp posts, so good as your solution is, not one I can use.

Thanks, yes that link works. Odd that the previous one showed me the items but they were greyed out - puzzling !

Andrew

Yes a bit chunky, but a good idea, thank you. I think that the gel filled box approach is the way to go.

I'm tempted to 3D print something custom sized in Pet-G, and Gel fill it as it's apparently available in a

Toolstation have some relatively cheap stuff claimed as weatherproof rather than waterproof, e.g.

Another good idea - thanks

Any old JB and

The sizes of those gel filled boxes are quite small, as I have an idea as to what you want them for. I can't see them being big enough to house a cat5 socket and plug, as well as any other cable you may want to use.

I have some IP66 metal boxes from B&Q of which the bottom half is fastened to the wall, and the cat5 cable comes up through 1 hole and the cat5 socket comes up through the adjacent hole into the box. I then wrap some ruberised tape around the joint, screw the lid on, and that's the job done.

Not sure whether CPC's PL1020887 or PL13381 would work. I think it fails on aesthetic grounds, but might be spraypainted?

Did you look at the second link I gave to the raytech site? some of those look larger

I wonder how the two packs compare to the single pack stuff like this.

Or is this cartridge one very runny when it comes out (so that it might drain away in the situation I describe above).

I guess you could wire up one of those rectangular type boxes horizontal, fill with either type, and then only screw to the wall when the gel is set.

I have a job to do for which these should be ideal (currently temporarily taped as I need to add another extension).

Do you mean this one :

Yes

If you drill-down to the different types, the photos show you whether they're for e.g. single wagos, lumps of choc-bloc or multiple wagos
