Rated IP66, the enclosure seals against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making it suitable for outdoor installation of electrical connections, junction boxes, sensor housings and low-voltage control equipment exposed to rain, hose-down or coastal spray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for outdoor wiring installations where mains or low-voltage connections need protection from weather and physical impact, the enclosure accepts cables through pre-formed gland entry points on the base and sides. The lid is secured with four captive screws visible in the image, and the internal cavity provides clearance for terminal blocks, connectors and small distribution boards. The Class II construction means the enclosure itself does not require earthing, simplifying installation on walls, posts or under eaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polycarbonate shell carries an IK06 impact rating, which means it withstands a 500g hammer dropped from 200mm — enough to handle accidental knocks from garden tools, ladders or routine maintenance work. The black finish resists UV degradation and blends into dark wall surfaces, fascias and garden structures. The enclosure is rated for voltages up to 230V AC 50Hz, covering standard UK mains applications as well as 12V and 24V low-voltage systems.\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\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62 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_3595954_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_312590.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 practice?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP66 means the enclosure is fully dust-tight (the first 6) and protected against powerful water jets from any direction (the second 6).

Any metallic components or equipment housed inside the enclosure should be earthed according to wiring regulations, but the box itself is non-conductive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightsbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293893157131,"sku":"JB008BK","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/327800_cc7fdc21-00c2-4298-ad3c-2147af8a291e.jpg?v=1714665679","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/ip66-outdoor-weatherproof-enclosure-medium-125mm-black-polycarbonate","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
