Southwire 1228 Pvc Junction Box 8x8x6 in

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1228 is a PVC junction box measuring 8 inches by 8 inches by 6 inches, designed for protecting and organizing electrical wiring connections in conduit installations. Built from PVC, this enclosure resists corrosion and moisture, making it well suited for wet, damp, or chemically harsh environments. Electricians use this type of junction box when consolidating conductors, splicing circuits, or housing wire connections that require a durable, non-metallic enclosure. At 18 pounds, this is a solid, full-size box intended for permanent installation in residential, commercial, or light industrial wiring systems.

This junction box is appropriate for conduit system installations where a non-metallic enclosure is required or preferred. Typical applications include service entrances, underground wiring transitions, industrial panels, and outdoor electrical runs where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 8 by 8 by 6 inch interior provides ample room for conductor management, wire nuts, and terminal blocks. Licensed electricians install this box in new construction and retrofit projects that call for PVC conduit systems.

Key Features

• PVC construction resists corrosion, moisture, and many chemicals

• Substantial build at 18 pounds supports secure, long-term mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard junction box for PVC conduit systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before opening or wiring the box. Secure the enclosure to a structural surface using appropriate fasteners rated for the mounting substrate. Do not overtighten conduit fittings into PVC knockouts, as cracking can compromise the enclosure seal.
