Thomas Betts E987N Junction Box Nema 4 4X 6P Pvc Enclosure

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS E987N is a polyvinylchloride (PVC) junction box electrical enclosure rated for NEMA 4, 4X, and 6P environments. Measuring 4 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 4 inches deep, this compact enclosure is built to house and protect electrical connections in wet, corrosive, or washdown-intensive locations. The PVC construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure. A foam-in-place gasket creates a reliable environmental seal, while stainless steel screws secure the screw flat cover. Electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this enclosure in applications where moisture ingress and corrosion are primary concerns.

This enclosure is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where a watertight and corrosion-resistant housing is required. Typical applications include outdoor junction points, food processing environments, marine installations, and chemical processing areas. Its NEMA 4X and 6P ratings make it appropriate for locations subject to direct water spray, temporary submersion, and corrosive atmospheres. The compact 4 inches x 4 inches x 4 inches footprint fits standard junction box mounting scenarios where space is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before opening or wiring the enclosure. Ensure all conduit entries are properly sealed with rated fittings to maintain the NEMA ingress protection rating. Do not overtighten cover screws beyond hand-firm to protect the foam-in-place gasket seal.
