What diameter should a metal installation box be?
Installation boxes are a structural element of the electrical installation. Their primary task is to facilitate the process of connecting electrical wires. In practice, there are various 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, an appropriate variant is selected.
For proper installation, it is important what size of box will be used. Metal boxes are available in rectangular and square variants, and their advantage is that they can be used not only in electrical, but also industrial and telecommunications installations.
The most typical variant of the installation box are those with a diameter of 60 mm, i.e. 2.63 inches, but if a given installation requires the use of unusual solutions, you can also use boxes with a diameter of 75 mm (i.e. 2.95 inches) or 100 mm (i.e. 3 .94 inch).
Selection of a metal installation box for outdoor use
The conditions outside can often be difficult. The cabling is exposed to unfavorable 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 and weather conditions, but also to UV radiation.
The material from which the metal can is made must be resistant to corrosion. Stainless steel, galvanized sheets or aluminum will work perfectly. Models that can be installed outdoors must have appropriate certificates confirming the degree of protection.
Electrical boxes used outdoors are most often surface-mounted or flush-mounted models, which are used depending on the needs of a given installation. Rectangular metal box or square metal box available in various sizes allow you to effectively mask the wiring. The e90 box is very popular among installers.
