Review on Leviton FDBX1 Y Single Gang Capacity Stainless by Joe Fulce

Revainrating 4 out of 5

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR WATERPROOF ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS VS. 'WEEATHER' BOX

Highly recommended for installation in damp, wet or surface water. I should have known about that waterproof power connector. The City Inspector should have recommended since the junction box is below ground level and at ground level. Easy installation. Used in conjunction with a cap and plug for a secure and effective watertight connection. The contractor installed a Home Depot "weatherproof" junction box that tripped a switch during a heavy rainstorm. I knew the box wasn't going to work, but the contractor was state licensed and I had no choice. Again, we strongly recommend this box and accompanying cover and electrical connector for a watertight connection in a humid or semi-humid environment. The plug has a rubber lip that fits snugly into the socket and provides a watertight connection. Efficient installation. YES, at an additional cost, but without triggering the switch. Do not use "weatherproof" switch boxes unless they are weatherproof.

Pros
  • Conduit Fittings
Cons
  • So far so good
