The IP66 rating provides full dust ingress protection and protection against heavy water jets from any direction, making the enclosure suitable for outdoor installations exposed to rain, driven snow and washdown environments. The IK06 impact rating confirms resistance to impacts up to 1 joule of energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for outdoor electrical wiring applications including garden lighting circuits, gate automation controls, CCTV camera junctions, outdoor socket feeds and irrigation system wiring, the enclosure accommodates multiple cable gland entry points on all four sides and the base. These pre-weakened knockout points accept standard 20mm conduit glands or PVC cable glands depending on the installation method. The enclosure is rated for voltages up to 230V AC 50Hz and carries Class II double insulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polycarbonate body resists UV degradation better than standard ABS enclosures, maintaining structural integrity and colour stability in direct sunlight over multiple years of outdoor exposure. The black finish absorbs less surface dirt than light-coloured enclosures and blends into dark mounting surfaces including brick, rendered walls and fence posts. Four corner screw points allow surface mounting onto walls, posts or equipment housings, with the screws recessed beneath the lid when closed to maintain the IP66 seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e111 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e181 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eII\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_3595956_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_312594.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does IP66 mean in practical terms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP66 provides complete protection against dust ingress (the first '6') and protection against heavy water jets from any direction (the second '6'). This means the enclosure can withstand heavy rain, driven snow, and direct hosing without water entering the sealed interior. It does not protect against full submersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow are cables brought into the enclosure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure has multiple pre-weakened knockout points on all four sides and the base. These accept standard 20mm conduit glands or PVC cable glands depending on whether you're running armoured cable, conduit or flex.
