The KF7P boxes are a very good deal IMO. Considering what a galvanized
box costs and the real PITA of drilling, cutting, and punching holes
into these steel NEMA rated outdoor "enclosures" you will be way ahead
with one of them. Just finished a project with one and I have a complete
machine shop, hydraulic chassis punches, etc.
Plus, Chris has thought thru all the details and provides for them.
Go big since you need to bend the coax to arrestors, tighten PL's and
screws etc. As time goes by you will likely add more stuff.

If all you're seeking is a waterproof connection box, you can get PVC

For something nice, painted, drilled:

You can find a nice metal electrical box on Amazon or at your local
electrical distributor.
Like Fred, I have no affiliation with any of these vendors.

DX Engineering sells a box, arrestors and connectors you are looking for.
I have no financial interest in DXE or Mr. Duffy.

I'm in the planning stages to put up a 50 ft aluminum Universal Towers
fold over tower.
I'm trying to line everything up for a March project date. Question-tower
will be approx 100' from house. I plan on bury coax and rotor cables in PVC
Would it be wise to run cables down tower to a connection box at base for
lightning arrestees and provide an easy way to replace coax from base to
antennas if needed such as adding addl tower sections.
If so where can I find a waterproof connection box that will handle 3
RG213u, rotor cable, bus vat and arrestors?
