[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 72842, member: 250"] It depends upon what type of joint terminations you use, (not what type of box/enclosure) If you have screw terminals.. YES must be accessible! Solder, Crimp, Cold Resin, Maintenance free joints etc... NO accessibility needed. The regs recommendations are in Reg 526.3, Page 106 of the Big Red Book! Assuming you use a Suitable joint method, you just need any appropriate enclosure to protect the joint from mechanical damage, ingress of water etc.. You would verify the proper ingress protection based on the environment that you fix the box... IP68 may be a little overkill, (that could go in the bottom of a pool) first digit '6' - "fine dust particles" & second digit '8' - "continuous immersion" HTH [/QUOTE]
