About this product

The Wago Gelbox is a compact box pre-filled with silicone-free waterproofing gel. The Gelbox for inline connections is available in various sizes and provides IPX8 levels of moisture protection for Wago’s 221 Series Lever-Nut® Inline Connectors. This protection type means that the inline connectors are completely sealed against water and can be permanently immersed in water. Conventional potting compounds like polyurethane and silicone also meet IPX8 requirements. However, the Wago Gelbox’s distinctive feature is that it protects the electrical installation exactly where it matters – at the connection points – without permanently encapsulating the junction boxes. Unlike silicone-based gel, the Wago Gelbox’s silicone-free gel supports a virtually unlimited number of applications.

When moisture meets electricity, a short circuit can happen quickly. Encapsulation is a proven solution, but now reliable moisture protection for splicing connectors can be achieved even more quickly and easily with the Wago Gelbox for inline lever-nut connectors. This waterproofing solution is ready for immediate use in a wide range of low- and extra-low voltage applications wherever waterproof cable connections or waterproof cable extensions are required.

The Wago Gelbox can be used in a wide range of low- and extra-low-voltage applications. However, its use differs somewhat among the specific voltage ranges because the Gelbox is primarily designed to provide environmental protection rather than electrical shock protection. For example, in low-voltage applications (e.g., 230V), the Gelboxes are intended to be used in junction boxes together with splicing connectors. This is the only way to ensure double cable insulation to protect against electric shock, since only the conductors are encapsulated in the Wago Gelbox. In SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) applications, the Wago connectors can safely be used in Gelboxes without an additional junction box.
