FAQs About Wiska Combi Boxes
Q: Why are Wiska Combi Boxes so popular?
A: They’re easy to install, weatherproof, and tested to last. Electricians trust them for both residential and commercial jobs.
Q: Can Combi Boxes be used underground?
A: Yes, when installed with appropriate glands and sealed to maintain the IP rating, in line with BS 7671 Reg 522.3.1 (damp conditions).
Q: Are all sizes IP66/IP67 rated?
A: Yes, the entire Combi range carries high ingress protection ratings.
Q: Do they come with glands included?
A: Typically not, allowing you to select the right gland type (standard, Shotgland, or vent gland) for your installation.
Q: Silly one – Can’t I just tape my outdoor connections instead of using a Combi Box?
