Description
This is an power adapter box for outdoor use for the Inkbird irrigation controller supplied power adapter.
The power adapter is not rated for outdoor use and this box offers an enclosure which allows it to be used outdoors, if printed in ASA. TPU is also used with the cable entries to allow for a tight fit around the smaller wires entering the box (2-core AWG18) and for the mounting standoffs to prevent splitting of layer lines.
The TPU cable grommets were used with PG13.5 cable glands. This is to prevent any spiders or other bugs from being able to get into the enclosure. The seal is also printed in TPU.
Make sure that not too much force is applied when securing the box to a wall or fence otherwise there is the potential for layer lines to come apart.
