GW44809 Gewiss Electrical Enclosure 236X316X135 - IP55 - RAL 7035
MPN: GW44809
Why Choose the Gewiss GW44809 Junction Box?
The Gewiss GW44809 is a high-capacity, surface-mounting junction box from the 44 CE range. This model is designed for housing electrical connections, terminal blocks, or electronic components in demanding industrial and commercial environments.
Unlike smaller domestic boxes, the GW44809 features a completely smooth-walled design, providing maximum flexibility for cable entry. This allows installers to drill custom holes and use specialized cable glands (PG or Metric) to maintain a high-integrity seal. With its IP56 rating, this box is effectively watertight, protecting internal wiring from strong water jets and heavy dust ingress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this box have pre-cut holes?
No, the GW44809 has smooth walls. This is intentional to allow you to drill your own holes for specific cable gland sizes, ensuring the best possible IP56 seal for your specific cable entry.
Is this box UV resistant?
Yes, the technopolymer used by Gewiss for the 44 CE range is UV stabilized, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use without becoming brittle.
Can I mount a DIN rail inside?
Yes, there are internal fixing pillars designed to accept self-tapping screws for mounting DIN rails or galvanized steel backplates.
What screws are used for the lid?
The lid uses 1/4 turn captive plastic screws. Because they are plastic, they will never rust, which is ideal for coastal or high-humidity environments.
