    DIE-CAST ALUMINUM WEATHERPROOF OCTAGONAL JUNCTION BOX - 16 CU. IN.
    DIE-CAST ALUMINUM WEATHERPROOF OCTAGONAL JUNCTION BOX - 16 CU. IN.

    DIE-CAST ALUMINUM WEATHERPROOF OCTAGONAL JUNCTION BOX - 16 CU. IN.

    SKU: ED-WPOB-GR-A050

    Brand: ARANI

    Mounting a porch light, a wall lantern or an outdoor ceiling fixture? Start with the right base: this ARANI weatherproof octagonal junction box in die-cast aluminum is built for exterior connections. Known on job sites as an octagon box, an outdoor light box or a weatherproof fixture box, it is the classic support for lighting fixtures and splices outside the house, and a dependable LED junction box when you install modern exterior LED lighting.

    With a capacity of 16 cu. in., the box gives you a clear figure for your box-fill calculation and space for the splices behind the fixture canopy. The die-cast aluminum body offers a solid, rigid mounting point for the fixture, while the weatherproof design is made for walls, soffits, porches and posts exposed to rain and snow. Its octagonal shape is the format electricians expect for lighting outlets, which keeps the installation simple. ARANI intends this model, SKU ED-WPOB-GR-A050, for residential and commercial projects alike, from a single porch light to a row of exterior fixtures along a building.

    From Halifax to Vancouver, exterior lighting has to face freezing rain, deep snow and summer storms, so the box behind every fixture matters. Use this outdoor octagon box for a front-door or garage light, a soffit fixture, a covered-porch ceiling light, a post light at the end of the driveway or the splice point for exterior LED lighting on a shop or warehouse. Top it with the fixture or a weatherproof cover, seal any unused opening, and have a licensed electrician make the connections in line with the Canadian Electrical Code. Add it to your cart and give your outdoor lights the solid footing they deserve.

    A metal box made for outdoor lighting
    Behind every exterior light is a connection that has to stay dry and secure season after season. This ARANI octagonal junction box is made of die-cast aluminum and designed to be weatherproof, giving outdoor fixtures a solid metal base instead of a light-duty plastic box. The octagonal shape is the standard format for lighting outlets, and the 16 cu. in. capacity gives the installer a clear number to work with when planning conductors and splices.

    Installing it the right way
    Choose a location with solid backing, such as blocking behind the siding, a post or masonry, so the fixture sits flat and stays aligned. Bring the cable or conduit in with fittings suited to the job and plug any opening you do not use so snowmelt and rain stay out. Work out your box fill before pulling wires: 16 cu. in. is the figure to compare with the conductors, connectors and fixture leads you plan to put inside. Where the box is not covered by a fixture, finish it with a weatherproof cover. For peace of mind, have a licensed electrician make the connections according to the Canadian Electrical Code and your local rules.

    Projects where it shines
    Homeowners use this outdoor junction box for porch and entry lights, garage and soffit fixtures, deck and gazebo lighting, or a lamp post by the driveway. Contractors choose it for commercial exteriors: LED wall lights over a loading door, canopy lighting at a storefront, sign lighting or the fixtures that light a parking area. It is just as handy in unheated garages, barns, sheds and carports, where a sturdy metal box makes more sense than a light plastic one. In a Canadian climate, where exterior lights often run through long winter evenings, a solid box behind the fixture is a small detail that pays off.

    Complete the circuit
    An outdoor light usually has its switch indoors. For that switch location, ARANI also makes galvanized steel gangable boxes such as the 1104-LH gangable box with NMD clamp for NMD cable runs, or the 1104-K gangable box with knockouts if you prefer separate connectors. Keeping indoor and outdoor boxes from the same brand also simplifies ordering for your next job. The ARANI technical PDF for its electrical box range is also available in the Documentation tab.
