Title: Waterproof Project Boxes
Post by: i_hear_you on July 15, 2019, 1449 UTC

I'm looking for ideas on waterproof, nonconducting, strong (can handle the stress of wire antenna mounting points) and "machinable" (I have a Dremel) containers to use as the feed point for dipoles and elevated verticals.  It needs to have room for large coax chokes, I think a 4" cube would be perfect, but haven't found one yet.  I've turned up ABS and polycarbonate units with rubber gaskets that fit the bill, but not for under $20/piece.

Maybe I just have to shell it out, but figured I should ask here first.

Can't think of anything more suited than pvc.

And if you need to easily access it in the future, glue on threaded caps. Can seal with teflon tape.
