BUD Industries NBF-32012 Economy Box - Plastic Indoor Electrical Box 8.33" L x 6.36" W x 3.94" H, Opaque Door

I was replacing a sprinkler controller in my garage with a couple Rachio WiFi sprinkler controllers. The old Rainbird controller had a PVC conduit of the solenoid wires running to it, with the controller sitting inside a Rainbird plastic enclosure. The new controllers accept the wires from the bottom, but don't have any way to keep the wiring hidden. Aside from that, the Rachio controllers require the solenoid control wires to be reduced in gauge. Poking around Amazon brought me to a number of thermoplastic boxes. I settled on the NBF-32012 because of its dimensions. I drilled three holes in the box, attached the included mounting flanges, mounted two terminal strips on posts molded into the box, and called it a day. The included picture showing the interior of the box was taken before I put the self-tapping screws in for the terminal strips. For the price I was expecting a lower quality item. Maybe some dimensional inaccuracies, or shoddy manufacturing. Instead it ended up being a high-quality enclosure. Though I'm using mine indoors, it's properly sealed for outdoor use.

I worked for Time Warner Cable as a contractor for over a decade. I am use to working with poor quality lower priced plastic enclosures and I can assure you this is NOT one of them. This plastic enclosure is solid plastic with a rubber ring sealer around the area that closes. The clips are well made and do not bend when pressure is applied. Normally I see plastic enclosures that are hard plastic around the 40.00USD range. I am very happy with the product. I will order other BUD Industries boxes in the future and hope they are just as well constructed and economically priced.

This is a nice, heavy box. The latches hold securely and there is a weather seal on the door. It comes with 4 metal mounting tabs or you can drill through the box for mounting. If you choose the latter make sure you seal around the screws if you want to maintain moisture-proofing.

Works great in the rain, and tough.

Just received this box and it looks great. Seems to be well made and appears as though it would be not only weather resistant but even waterproof. It has only one problem that might limit its usefulness for the project I'm building. I need to be able to open it easily in very cold winter weather. I tested it by putting it in my freezer at 0°F. When it's cold I can unsnap the latches with no problem but the door will not budge until it is left in room temp for several minutes. The box was completely dry for my test so there was no ice holding the door shut. I then applied a small amount of 100% mineral oil gel (Petro Gel brand name) to the surface of the rubber door gasket. This did not help; possibly made the sticking even worse. I have not tried to lubricate the hinges yet but I really doubt that they are the problem. The bottom line is that in spite of its high quality and good looks it will not work for my project unless I can eliminate the door sticking problem

Works very well as expected. All components work together. You do have to push in the door a little to get it to latch. Otherwise it will not latch, and will pop open. The ABS smells a bit when drilling but not intolerable.

Used this box for the pump timer on my pool. Drilled holes for the conduit and mounted it on a post. These are nice boxes, rubber seals for weatherproof use and the latches are good quality.

great heavy sturdy box. nice tight seal. I drill the holes that I need, where I want them, and the plastic drills clean and does not crack or compromise. I have purchased several of these in different sizes to house outdoor camera and network hardware connections. They work great and they are an excellent value.

Excelente hermeticidad y facilidad de instalación para incluir equipos en ambientes exteriores

Excellent box to use as a combiner box on the roof of my rv and is water tight

I adapted this box to house my irrigation system controller.. The OEM controller housing was more than double the cost of this one and all I had to do was drill a few small holes in the bottom. I would buy this again.
