Specialist Wiska Junction Boxes
For marine installations, offshore projects, and engine rooms, Wiska produces specialist enclosures:
- Wiska Brass Junction Boxes – excellent resistance to corrosion, ideal for shipbuilding and heavy-duty industrial applications.

Practical Installer Tip
When installing outdoors, ensure all cable entries are secure. Many electricians pair Wiska junction boxes with armoured cables to comply with BS 7671 Reg 522.8.10 on mechanical protection. Inside the box, terminations are best made using Wago 221 connectors or Ideal lever connectors, ensuring fast, safe, and professional results.
