Junction Box · 5 x 5 x 2 in PVC molded with gasket - Ipex JB552

What this product is for

The Ipex JB552 is a 5 x 5 x 2 in PVC molded junction box for enclosing wire splices and pull points in non-metallic conduit systems. It is used where electricians need a compact box with a gasketed cover and corrosion-resistant PVC construction.

Use for

Use for branch circuit junctions, conduit transitions, control wiring, and outdoor or damp-location installations where a PVC box is preferred. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and light industrial work.

Avoid for

Avoid using this box where a larger wiring space is required, where conductor fill exceeds box capacity, or where a metallic enclosure is specified by the design or local code. Always confirm box fill, fitting entry, and environmental rating for the installation.

Best for

Best for electricians needing a compact non-metallic junction box that resists rust and is suitable for conduit-based installations. It is a practical choice for outdoor equipment connections, service areas, and washdown-prone locations where PVC is preferred.

Installed in

Typically installed on walls, structures, and equipment surfaces in residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial settings. Common applications include exterior runs, utility areas, and exposed conduit systems.

Why this product exists

This product provides a secure enclosure for electrical connections while helping reduce corrosion concerns associated with metal boxes in wet or harsh environments. The gasketed cover helps support weather-resistant installations when used with compatible fittings and proper installation methods.

Compared with similar products

Compared with metal junction boxes, this PVC box is lighter and better suited where corrosion resistance matters. Compared with larger PVC enclosures, the 5 x 5 x 2 in size is better for compact junction points and smaller conductor counts. As a typical rule of thumb, electricians should size up when multiple splices, larger conductors, or several conduit entries are planned. Actual fit depends on conductor count, bend space, connectors, and local electrical code.
