Red Dot DIH5-1-LM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Red Dot DIH5-1-LM weatherproof box be used outdoors in wet locations?
Yes. The DIH5-1-LM is a Dry-tite type box built to protect wiring devices, switches, electronic components and terminal blocks in dry, damp and wet locations, so it suits exterior walls and washdown areas as well as indoor damp spots. It is UL recognized under file E28688.
2) How many devices will a single gang 17.3 cubic inch Red Dot box hold?
The DIH5-1-LM is a single gang rectangular box with 17.3 cubic inches of volume, so it takes one wiring device (a single receptacle or switch). Use the 17.3 in3 figure against your conductor count when you do the NEC box fill calculation, since the conductors, clamps and device all count against that volume.
3) How many conduit hubs does the Red Dot DIH5-1-LM have, and can I feed through it?
Five threaded holes on a single gang body. That gives you back and multiple side entries, so you can bring a run in one hub and continue out another instead of dead-ending at the box. Plug any hub you don't use with a close-up plug to keep the enclosure weathertight.
4) Does the DIH5-1-LM come with a cover, or do I need to order one separately?
The DIH5-1-LM is the box only. A weatherproof cover or device plate sized for a single gang opening is a separate line item, and which one you need depends on the device: a flip-lid or in-use (extra duty) cover for receptacles, a lever or toggle cover for switches, or a blank for a junction point. Budget for close-up plugs for unused hubs too.
5) Is this Red Dot box metal or plastic, and will it hold up in coastal or corrosive conditions?
Die cast aluminum, silver finish. The body is alloy A380 aluminum, with certified zinc alloy hardware and stainless steel springs for increased corrosion resistance. That combination is what you want for salt air, pool decks and wash areas, where plated steel hardware tends to rust first.
6) Will a two gang device fit in the Red Dot DIH5-1-LM?
No. It is a single gang box, so a two gang device, a duplex pair of switches on one strap, or any wide plate assembly will not mount. For those you need a two gang weatherproof box in the same Red Dot family rather than this one.
7) Is this Red Dot box sold individually or only by the case of 100?
It is packaged shrink wrapped in a 100 piece quantity, with the selling unit of measure recorded as each. For contractors and MRO stockrooms doing a run of exterior receptacles across a property, the case quantity is the practical way to buy it; for a one-off repair you only need the single box.
