Hi

first post

ie galv BESA box cw swa glands box lid and gasket with joints within suitable for outdoor use?

we've seen it done/ done it but is it ip rated?

if not would it merit a code on PIR

thanks for any replies

dont know if there is an IP rating but rubber gaskets and fiber rings on cw glands help what about filling with that gelly stuff?

 

[jase]

depends what they are used for, all ok for say outdoor lighting but i wouldnt buriy them like that say for bollard lighting unless filled with compound resin

Vertically and horizontally mounted,Above ground,Rubber gaskets should suffice,within usage reccomendations,as specified,would advise not to put joints underground,headaches later,fault finding,etc!!!!

you need to fill the box with Pirelli R391 Weatherproof Compound. Great stuff non setting waterproof etc.
