Key Features & Typical Use
Check Without Opening
Users can see where the switch is located from as far away as 1 meter due to the clear lid, making it ideal for outdoor equipment such as heaters, pumps and garden circuits that need to monitor the status quickly without breaking the IP66 rating.
IP66 = Rain and Dust, Handled
The IP66 rating indicates that the equipment is entirely free from dust, and is also able to withstand high pressure of water jet streams. Rainwater and the sea spray is kept outside the box, which is a reason why outdoor sockets mounted on the wall are so useful.
Full-PC Construction
Both the cover and the base of the equipment are constructed of a polycarbonate that is impact resistant, UV resistant and also durable enough to withstand weather changes for many years and maintain proper sealing.
Flush or Surface, Your Call
The system’s base can be mounted either flush with the wall or on the surface, so the waterproof casing can be utilized in case with hidden installation in new building, as well as surface installation in case of retrofit wiring

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a waterproof box used for?
A waterproof box designed to protect the wall switch or socket for outdoor functions. One module of BSI standard is included in the FW–X186. It has an IP66 rating meaning the box can protect from dust or water. The box is typically used in external applications, for example, gardening, patio work, workshop, or outside the building placement.
What does IP66 mean for an outdoor waterproof box?
The IP66 rating is a standard for ingress protection in which the first digit refers to total dust protection and the second digit refers to safety against high-pressure water jet.
Why is the cover transparent?
The transparent plastic cover of the waterproof box enables users to view the on-off position of the switch without taking off the cover, ensuring safety from possible external factors, which makes it unnecessary for users to remove the protective cover just to check whether the outdoor circuit works or not.
Can the FW-X186 be flush mounted as well as surface mounted?
Definitely, it can be mounted both on the surface and flush since flush is for new construction walls while surface mounting is used for the walls constructed before.
