What diameter should a metal junction box have?
Installation boxes are a structural element of the electrical installation. Their basic task is to facilitate the process of connecting electrical wires. In practice, there are different types of boxes, including: surface-mounted, flush-mounted, deep, external and hermetic. Depending on the place where they are to be installed and the function they are to perform, the appropriate variant is selected.
For the correct installation, it is important what size of box will be used. Metal boxes are available in rectangular and square versions, and their advantage is that they can be used not only in electrical installations, but also industrial or telecommunications.
The most typical variant of the installation box is one with a diameter of 60 mm, or 2.63 inches, however, if a given installation requires the use of non-standard solutions, you can also use boxes with a diameter of 75 mm (i.e. 2.95 inches) or 100 mm (i.e. 3.94 inches).
Selection of metal outdoor installation box
The conditions outside can often be difficult. The cabling is exposed to adverse weather conditions, such as water or moisture. These elements must therefore be highly resistant, durable, and resistant to mechanical damage. When looking for a solution that will work outdoors, you should choose a high-class model that will be resistant not only to moisture or weather conditions, but also to UV radiation.
The material from which the metal box is made must be corrosion-resistant. Stainless steel, galvanized sheet metal or aluminum will work perfectly. Models that can be installed outside must have appropriate certificates confirming the degree of protection.
Electrical boxes used outdoors are most often surface-mounted models or flush-mounted boxes, which are used depending on the needs of a given installation. A rectangular metal box or a square metal box available in various sizes allows you to effectively hide the wiring. The e90 box is very popular among installers.
