Small 50x50 adaptable box

[NICheshire]

Hi All
any suggestions for a small adaptable box with dims approx 50 w x 50 deep (length not really an issue), the Wiska 206 would be ideal (85mmx49mmx51mm) however I need to get an earth Banjo on there as it is swa cable and I don't think I will get one on on the wiska with the pre threaded holes (not enough room on the internal gland thread, any suggestions appreciated

Does the wiska gland plate fit the 206?

 

[telectrix]

use a wiska box with wiska's own gland plate.

Thanks Guys, don't think they do the earth plate for the smallest 50x50x85 box. I could use a piranha earth nut but the glands i have the internal thread isn't long enough to pass the plastic thread of the Wiska

 

[NICheshire]

If the wiska had flat sides instead of the integral thread, i could get banjo or Piranha on inside, just can't find one, either plastic or metal, that is 50w x 50deep or thereabouts

pick the one with the cable entries you require.


even a plain small galv. box.



there are no problems, only solutions.

Not use a galv through box

 

[telectrix]

also, you can use a long thread bush. insert from inside then screw SWA gland to bush.

 

[telectrix]

soz. you'd need a galv.coupler as well.

Yes the earth bar does fit in the Wisker 206 box, done 26 garden lights with them last week, piranha nuts do not fit the Wisker boxes either

 

[NICheshire]

Thanks for all your help chaps, will see if those schneider boxs will fit. Yahtzee, you say the earth bar fits, but does it sit behind the moulded thread of the Wiska, if so the gland thread won't reach the earth bar, unless you are using a specific gland with a longer internal thread, would be interested to know. Cheers

 

[Yahtzee]

Err not sure what you mean about the earth bar? They install exactly the same as in the 306 boxes, ie they go between 2 gland entries ( not the single entry) and then you screw through the earth bar on to the thread of the gland/s

 

[NICheshire]

With the gland I'm using, once it is fully wound onto the wiska plastic thread, there is no gland thread sticking through on the inside, it is not long enough, maybe a need a longer thread gland-what make did you use

 

[telectrix]

screw a 20mm brass bush (1/2"long thread) from the inside. then add a galv coupler. screw SWA gland into coupler.

 

[Yahtzee]

That's weird, the ones I use are made by SWA and to be fair there isn't much sticking though, there is just enough for the screw to bite in to. Not sure you could get any less thread that would work in anything
