Element Enclosure

[raindogxx]

I'm building and electric brewery inspired heating element. I'm trying to follow the guide as close as possible while using parts readily available in Ireland. Well mostly, I already have a Camco heating element. Does anybody know where I can find a IP66 (ish) metal gang box or enclosure that would work? I've found plenty of plastic boxes but not so many steel ones. I'm not planning on beating the thing with a hammer but I do like the added durability of steel.

Here's a link to the project for clarity, it's several pages long:

I'd say Dwyer's Electrical on Forge Hill should have something. They're open weekends too.

PM Ozbrewer or have a look at his Electric Brewery build thread

I did check out Dwyer's but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Do you know of any online retailers for electrical supplies?

I will take a look through Ozbrewer's thread again, makes it easier to click "Pay" after seeing what's possible.

I wouldn't have said you need IP66, I'd have thought IP55 or 54 would be fine, but it's your money!

Thanks. Looks like Radionics has a lot of goodies. I'll have to dig through Maplin too.

These might fit the bill, don't know about their ip rating though
