Paul,
Lately I've become quite fond of weather-tight electrical handy-boxes as
enclosures for beverage hardware. They can be found in the electrical supplies
sections of Home Depot or Lowes for ~$6 or so. The smallest enclosures are
about 4x4" by 2" deep and feature a gasket seal and screw-on cover. The
plastic
housing is easy to drill for fittings.
Home Depot carries Carlon, similar to these:

My favorites are Kraloy brand, found at a midwest home-improvement chain called
Menards. They use brass machine screws and threaded inserts for the covers.

Part number JB442 is the 4x4x2 version.

Subject: Topband: Weatherproof enclosures?
I've put up several Beverages this Spring and am looking for suitable
weatherproof UV resistant plastic enclosures to mount the feed and
termination hardware.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Best regards,
Paul W0AD
