Default looking for a supplier of electrical boxes around town

Looking for something along the lines of this, plastic preferred.

Westburne maybe? I imagine any of the electrical wholesalers should be able to set you up. One brand name you could try looking up or asking for is "Hoffman Enclosures."

You won't find a pvc hinged weatherproof box, only in metal, and it'll cost you a small fortune. For that matter I don't think I've seen a pvc box period that's that size, metal control cabinets are pricey, couple hundred bucks and up.

There is something similar out there, only smaller in PVC, 12" squared.
Try contacting Bow Valley Electric.

ya, small PVC hinges, but there are larger PVC pullboxes, 18"x18" etc. they will have a bolt on lid though.

Like these, from Scepter


Hoffman is the name for most Steel electrical enclosure, Code Electric Products in Coquitlam makes some nice aluminum boxes as well.

Lot's of different boxes out there like that in PVC, straight resin, fiberglass etc.

What we'll use often come from Carlon, here's a link to their catalog. Most of the large electrical suppliers carry, might be helpful to provide a part number.

Brace for the price.
