Abox GT enclosures are ideal for any application where electrical connections must be protected from the wet.
Typical uses are in flood prone areas, washing installations, tunnels, docks and agricultural or horticultural applications.
A semi-setting gel compound protects the contents of the box after assembly.
The gel is a two-part mixture designed for easy mixing and installation in the toughest site conditions.
A handy mixer bag included with every box can be used to prepare and insert exactly the right amount of gel.
Once cured, the gel filled enclosures are shock and fracture-proof, UV-resistant and exhibit low flammability.
Unlike other foam based systems where the foam is extremely difficult to remove after it has been inserted, the clear Spelsberg Abox GT gel can easily be removed without damaging the enclosure or the connections allowing for simple rewiring or reuse.
The Abox GT range is available in four sizes from 80 x 80 x 52 to 140 x 140 x 79mm.
The enclosures will handle cable cross sections from 1.5 to 10mm2.
In tests, they withstand immersion in water to a depth of 15m for 168h.
The new enclosures join the largest range of plastic enclosures available ex-stock in the UK from the company's Telford headquarters; centrally located to provide immediate access to technical support and next day delivery on all standard items. Request a free brochure from Spelsberg els UK ...
