When & Why to Use
Use the 78310700 junction box when installing new underwater pool lights, replacing a cracked or leaking existing light junction box, or upgrading old components to meet current safety standards. A proper junction box helps protect wiring from water intrusion, keeps connections dry, and reduces the risk of electrical hazards — essential for pool-side lighting reliability and safety compliance.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Always de-energize and lock out power before servicing or installing the junction box.
- Use conduit fittings and PVC or flexible conduit appropriate for pool-side exposure; tighten ports with approved fittings to maintain waterproof seal.
- Ensure the cover gasket is clean and properly seated before tightening cover screws — replace gasket if cracked or degraded.
- Inspect box periodically for corrosion, cracking, or water intrusion — especially before pool opening or after winter. Replace if any part shows signs of deterioration.
