Rittal 80181 JB Series Hinged-Cover Junction Box, IP66/NEMA 4X

The Rittal JB Series hinged-cover junction box combines the design advantages of Rittal's AE and KL series enclosures in a cost-effective package for dense wiring and sensitive small instruments. Available in seven sizes ranging from 6 × 6 × 4 in up to 16 × 14 × 8 in, every enclosure in the family shares 1.5 mm material thickness across the enclosure, mounting plate, and door, an IP66 rating to both EN 60 529 and IEC 60 529, and a NEMA 4X protection category for demanding indoor and outdoor environments. A 180° hinge and slotted insert quarter-turn latch allow fast, tool-free access, while the foamed-in-place gasket and knife-edge perimeter seal out dust and moisture.

Rittal 8018110 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Rittal JB Series junction box rated for outdoor and wash-down use?
Yes. The JB Series carries IP66 to both EN 60 529 and IEC 60 529, plus a NEMA 4X protection category, so it is built for dust, hose-directed water, and corrosive indoor or outdoor environments. The seal comes from a foamed-in-place gasket working against a knife-edge perimeter on the door. That combination is what makes it suitable for wash-down areas and exterior wall mounting rather than dry interior use only.
2) What sizes does the Rittal 80181 JB junction box come in, and what are the part numbers?
Seven sizes, ordered by individual part number: 6 x 6 x 4 in (8018110), 8 x 6 x 4 in (8018129), 8 x 6 x 6 in (8018138), 10 x 8 x 6 in (8018130), 10 x 10 x 6 in (8018133), 12 x 12 x 6 in (8018111), and 16 x 14 x 8 in (8018140). Dimensions are height x width x depth. All seven share the same 1.5 mm construction, IP66/NEMA 4X rating, and hinged cover, so you are only choosing capacity.
3) What is a non-metallic alternative to the Rittal 80181 junction box in the 6 x 6 x 4 in size?
The Carlon E987R is a polycarbonate screw-cover junction box in 6 x 6 x 4 in, matching the smallest size in the Rittal JB family. The difference is in access and construction: the Rittal JB uses a hinged cover with a quarter-turn latch and a foamed-in-place gasket with knife-edge perimeter at IP66/NEMA 4X, while the E987R is a non-metallic polycarbonate box closed with cover screws. Choose the Carlon where a non-metallic body is wanted and the cover is opened rarely; choose the Rittal JB where wiring is accessed often and tool-free opening matters.
4) For a standard 4 inch square device box behind a wall plate, is the Rittal 80181 the right part?
No. The Rittal 80181 JB is a hinged-cover sheet steel enclosure starting at 6 x 6 x 4 in and sized up to 16 x 14 x 8 in, intended for dense wiring, instrumentation, and outdoor or wash-down locations. For conventional 4 inch square box work, the Orbit D4SB is a 1-1/2 in deep 4 in square drawn steel junction box, and the Orbit 4SDB is a welded steel square deep box with 1 in knockouts. Those are the device- and raceway-style boxes; the Rittal JB is the sealed enclosure.
5) Does the Rittal JB box include a mounting plate?
A mounting plate is part of the JB Series spec, listed at the same 1.5 mm material thickness as the enclosure body and door. That gives you a solid backplate to drill and tap for terminal blocks, DIN rail, or small instruments rather than drilling the enclosure wall and breaking the IP66 seal.
6) Do I need a screwdriver to open a Rittal JB Series enclosure?
No. Access is tool-free: the door uses a slotted insert quarter-turn latch and swings on a 180 degree hinge, so a technician can open it by hand and let it hang clear of the wiring. The door catch sits on the left across the family. If you want a hex or key insert instead of the slotted one, that is a different latch than what this series ships with.
7) Should I use a hinged-cover junction box like the Rittal JB or a screw-cover box?
Pick the hinged cover when the box gets opened more than once. The JB's 180 degree hinge and quarter-turn latch mean the cover never comes off in your hand and never gets dropped into a trench, which matters for instrumentation and terminal junctions you revisit. A screw-cover box such as the Carlon E987R polycarbonate 6 x 6 x 4 in is the simpler choice for a buried-in-the-wall splice point you expect to close once and leave alone.
8) Is the Rittal JB enclosure metal or plastic, and what is the finish?
It is a sheet metal enclosure, 1.5 mm thick on the body, door, and mounting plate, with a brushed grain 240 surface finish on the housing and door. If your application calls for a non-metallic box, for example to avoid bonding requirements or in a chemically aggressive spot, the Cantex E983G non-metallic PVC family or the Carlon E987R polycarbonate box are the plastic alternatives.
9) I need a lot of these for a repeat installation across a facility. Will the Rittal JB boxes look and operate the same in every size?
Yes, and that is the point of the family. All seven sizes from 6 x 6 x 4 in to 16 x 14 x 8 in share the same 1.5 mm gauge, the same brushed grain 240 finish, the same IP66/NEMA 4X rating, the same 180 degree hinge and quarter-turn latch, and the door catch on the left. A tech trained on one opens any of them the same way, and the exteriors match across the building even when the box sizes do not.
10) We buy junction boxes in bulk for rough-in. Is the Rittal 80181 sold that way, or is there a better fit?
The Rittal 80181 JB Series is ordered by individual size, in seven sizes from 6 x 6 x 4 in through 16 x 14 x 8 in, each with its own Rittal part number such as 8018110 and 8018140. For high-volume rough-in, the Orbit D4SB 1-1/2 in deep 4 in square drawn steel junction box is offered as a pack of 100. Use the Orbit for repetitive box counts and the Rittal JB where a hinged, gasketed NEMA 4X enclosure is called for.
11) Is a PVC junction box an equivalent substitute for the Rittal 80181 in a wash-down area?
They are different answers to the same opening. The Cantex E983G is a non-metallic PVC junction box family, so the body is inherently non-conductive and non-rusting. The Rittal 80181 JB Series is a 1.5 mm steel enclosure with a brushed grain 240 finish, rated IP66 to EN 60 529 and IEC 60 529 and NEMA 4X, with a 180 degree hinged door and quarter-turn latch. If the specification on the drawing calls out IP66 or NEMA 4X with a hinged, gasketed door, the Rittal JB is the one that states it; if the priority is a non-metallic body, look at the Cantex PVC family.
12) Are Rittal JB boxes sold individually or in bulk packs?
Each JB size is ordered as its own single part number, from 8018110 at 6 x 6 x 4 in up to 8018140 at 16 x 14 x 8 in. That differs from commodity steel boxes, which often move in cartons: the Orbit D4SB 1-1/2 inch deep 4 inch square drawn steel box, for instance, is a pack of 100.
