Review on ATPWONZ Waterproof Electrical Underground Connectors by David Lesperance

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good junction box but could use some practical improvements

I bought these to make 3 way connections for deck lighting. 1 input, 1 light output and 1 output to continue the circuit. The workmanship is good, the lid seals well and can be removed quite easily. The input channels are well dimensioned for round wire. Unfortunately, I have flat garden wire. The channels screw in and close around the wire like a camera shutter. It's quite an ingenious design. I think they'll work well enough for my needs, but if you're using flatwire or cable, expect some small gaps. I might use silicone sealant to fix this. My two biggest complaints are that the wire connector is really just for connecting two wires. It has 3 poles, which is good, but it's just not designed to connect 3 wires together. My other complaint is that there are no holes to attach the box to anything. I was planning on attaching mine to the deck with a couple of screws, but there aren't any pre-drilled holes for that. I can just drill a few holes in the box and attach it like that.

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
