ISKA COMBI junction boxes
WISKA COMBI junction boxes are for electricity circuit repairs and connecting additional sockets or lighting points to circuits. These boxes are designed to be water, impact, UV and flame resistant. They are manufactured in flame-retardant material that is resistant to fats, oils, diesel and acids.
The domed lid offers more room inside than flat boxes, for when you just need that extra centimetre. Elastic self-sealing membranes for cable entry without mechanical devices, saving on time, effort and tool use. Also, pre-threaded entries meaning no need for locknuts when mounting cable glands. The lid consists of four self-retained quarter-turn plastic screws, meaning no rust or losing the screws. These junction boxes are ingress protection tested to IP66/67, offering excellent dust and moisture protection. They also have an IK rating of IK07.
WISKA COMBI junction boxes are available in a range of shapes and sizes from 76 x 76 x 51mmD up to 160 x 140 x 81mmD and even includes the WISKA COMBI 304, which is a circular shaped junction box with a diameter of 57mm or 82mm.
WISKA COMBI boxes have a temperature range of -30 to +100 degrees Celsius making them an excellent choice for situations of extreme heat and cold.
WISKA ShieldGLAND BW/CW cable glands
WISKA originally developed the old BW/CW glands for use with the COMBI junction box and many other applications for steel wire armoured cables.. The drawbacks to the BW/CW cable glands are the same drawbacks to most cable glands on the market today. They require the use of a shroud and often require an earth tag (or banjo). Installing the safe earthing can affect the IP rating of the junction box.
The new ShieldGLAND BW/CW cable gland is a combination of plastic exterior and brass interior which is suitable for armoured and SY cables. It can be used with armoured, SY, CY and non-armoured cables, and installation of these is very straightforward. These have been designed to work with the COMBI range of junction boxes. With an ingress rating of IP68, the inner workings of the cable gland is protected against dust, dirt and water. No shroud is needed, due to the plastic exterior. This makes for a faster and easier installation.
The end result is a clean installation that works seamlessly with the COMBI junction box.
WISKA WDB Distribution Boxes
Made of thermal-resistant ABS, the WISKA distribution boxes are available in grey (RAL7035) with or without clear door. They have been glow wire tested to 650 degrees Celsius and they have a temperature range of -35 to +65 degrees Celsius making them a versatile option for temperature extremes.
For ingress protection, WISKA distribution boxes are rated IP65, giving them very good dust and moisture protection. They are fitted with a triangular lock as standard with the distribution box, an optional key lock is also available. WISKA distribution boxes are also supplied complete with the internal mounting plate & wall fixings, meaning you don’t need to spend time and money ordering one separately.
WISKA Insulating Gel
WISKA insulating gel for junction boxes protects against rain, humidity, dust and ingress of other contaminants that could interfere with the smooth running of your electricity circuit. The silicone gel has no expiry date. It takes approximately five minutes to mix and twelve minutes to cure, making it a fast choice that reduces the time spent waiting around for it to be ready.
The newest product on the market for junction box insulation is the WISKA MP One Twist & Go COMBI gel, available in 300ml, 600ml and 900ml bottles and ready to fill your junction box. The curing time of this product is 8 minutes at 23 degrees Celsius. This silicone gel has no expiry date and is re-enterable.
