What Are PVC Boxes & Covers?

A PVC box is a moulded polyvinyl chloride enclosure used to house wire splices, switches, receptacles, or conduit terminations along a run. Unlike its metal cousins, a PVC electrical box resists rust, chemicals, and moisture, which is why it has become the go-to choice for exterior, underground, and industrial wiring. Paired with a matching PVC cover, this PVC electrical box system creates a sealed, code-compliant enclosure that protects splices and terminations from dust, water, and physical impacts for the life of the installation.

How to Choose PVC Boxes & Covers

Choosing the right combination comes down to a few practical checks before you head to the checkout:

  • Match the box depth and volume to the number of conductors and devices it needs to hold
  • Confirm the conduit entry size fits your rigid PVC conduit or fittings
  • Select a UV-rated box for any sun-exposed exterior application
  • Pair it with a gasketed cover for wet, buried, or direct-burial locations
  • Check CSA certification and voltage rating for your specific installation type
