Claims13
Electrical box comprising:
- a framework defining a housing of electrical components and having an opening for access to said housing;
- a cover comprising a peripheral inner frame defining, in cooperation with said framework, a use configuration in which said inner frame is in contact with said framework to occlude said opening of said framework, and a maintenance configuration in which said cover is distanced from said opening of the framework;
- a plurality of fixing elements configured to reversibly couple with respective first holes obtained in the cover and the framework to maintain said inner frame in contact with said framework in the use configuration;
- a sealing gasket interposed between the cover and the framework;
- characterised in that it further comprises coupling means reversibly fixed to said cover by means of said plurality of fixing elements and configured to define a peripheral seat with said inner frame of the cover;
- each fixing element comprising a surface insulation gasket;
- said sealing gasket being housed within said peripheral seat so as to waterproof said housing of the framework when said cover is in said use configuration;
- and in that said framework has at least one flared side wall configured to define a preferential flow path.
