Question 1

Has anyone painted this? Curious to know if it needs special primer.

Accepted Answer

I roughed up the surface with fine sanding cloth then sprayed it with a Krylon brand spray paint. Still looks good after many months in the Texas sun.

Question 2

What is the death Inside the box?

Accepted Answer

It is approximately 3 inches. Each half is 1 1/2 inches deep.  3 inches with the door closed.

Question 3

Does this Item UL certified ?

Accepted Answer

I recall that it had a Canadian UL Certified stamp on it. I cannot recall whether or not it had a US stamp. For products I use, I am generally as confident in one as I am the other. For code requirements of UL certification, my local jurisdiction accepts both.

Question 4

Cannot be outdoor if no seal

Accepted Answer

This is incorrect.  Weather proof is not an accepted ingress rating for electrical equipment boxes.  This is misleading.  Items of this type are considered weather resistant which means normal rains will not enter.  But windblown rain is totally different and could (really more WILL) enter the compartment.  If you need something that is weather proof you need a NEMA 4 or NEMA 4X enclosure.  The following is an excerpt from NEMA itself as published on their website.  I find these ads misleading to the general public and am only seeking the truth for buyers.  FULL DISCLOSURE:  I am a seller of this type of equipment and will never misrepresent the specifications.  PLEASE RESEARCH THIS YOURSELF BEFORE BUYING.

"Type 4 Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree
of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts; to provide a degree of
protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects
(falling dirt and windblown dust); to provide a degree of protection with respect to
harmful effects on the equipment due to the ingress of water (rain, sleet, snow,
splashing water, and hose directed water); and that will be undamaged by the external
formation of ice on the enclosure. "
