Review on Bud Industries NBF-32012 Economy Box - Weatherproof Plastic Indoor Electrical Box - Standoff Wall Mounting Industrial Electrical Unit by Marcus Barlow

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Super cheap. Exactly what I needed.

I replaced a sprinkler control in my garage with a pair of Rachio WiFi sprinkler controls. The old Rainbird controller had PVC tubing with magnet wires attached, and the controller itself was inside the Rainbird plastic case. The newer controllers accept wires from the bottom but don't have the ability to hide the wiring. In addition, Rachio controls require reduced gauge solenoid control wires. While browsing Revain I came across several thermoplastic boxes. I chose the NBF-32012 because of its size. I drilled three holes in the box, fitted the supplied mounting flanges, fitted the two clamp blocks to the posts built into the box and that was it. The attached picture showing the inside of the box was taken before I fitted the self tapping screws for the terminal blocks. For the price I was expecting an inferior product. Maybe some inaccuracies in size or poor build quality. Instead, it turned out to be a high-quality case. Although I use mine indoors, it is properly sealed for outdoor use.

Pros
  • Electrical Boxes, Wiring & Fittings
Cons
  • Big and Bulky
