• Garden and landscape electrical systems
• Industrial machinery connections
• Submersible pump wiring
• Protection of cable joints in humid environments

When it may not be suitable

This junction box is not intended for high-voltage power distribution systems or applications requiring internal terminal blocks for complex multi-wire branching. It is designed specifically for simple cable joining and may not accommodate large-diameter cables or high-density wiring configurations.

Key specifications

• Ingress protection rating: IP68
• Dimensions: 74 mm x 46.2 mm x 26 mm
• Material: High-quality weather-resistant plastic
• Application: Hermetic cable connection

How to use

To use the Plastrol PHZ-3, first ensure that the power supply to the cables is completely disconnected. Feed the cables through the entry points of the junction box, ensuring that the seals are properly seated around the cable jacket to maintain the hermetic barrier. Connect the wires securely using appropriate connectors inside the housing. Once the connections are made, tighten the casing screws evenly to compress the internal gaskets, creating a watertight seal. Verify that the housing is fully closed before restoring power.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your cables to ensure they fit the sealing glands.
• Ensure the installation location allows for the physical dimensions of the box.
• Confirm that the electrical load does not exceed the rating of your chosen internal connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure that the cable entry points are tightened correctly and that the housing is not subjected to mechanical stress or excessive vibration after installation.
