No gasket included???DESIGN FEATURES:Thick silicone o-rings seal better and last longer than typical nitrile rubber gasketsGasket channel allows better adhesion and a dedicated place for adhesive for a perfect seal.

I have bought 4 of these entry housings. They're awesome if you want solar connectors on different enclosures. I've used them on two sheds and a shipping container!They are a bit expensive but the quality is pretty good. They look 3d printed but they're not cheap and i'm not worried about them lasting.My only complaint is shipping time is extremely slow. It look almost a month for me to get the last order.

Great wire length. Easy to install. Held up 8n the cold & heat of direct sunlight. Wish it had a mounting gasket

I received this a day or so ago and installed it today. Other than drilling a 3/4 inch hole through the exterior siding of my workshop/storage shed, the installation was a breeze. I put a bead of clear silicone sealer (caulk) around the outside edge as it doesn't come with a seal of any kind. Based on personal experience with outdoor devices and connectors that leave small holes or openings exposed, I suspect I'll put something removable in the two unused connectors to keep the solitary insects from stuffing them full of dead bugs for their unmatched eggs. This is a great connection device to make it easy to connect/disconnect solar cables and to have a neat entry point.

Update! This has been installed for a little over a year. The 3d printed plastic warped terribly in the sun over time. Then two days ago, I noticed that my battery was not charging in full sun. I went up on the roof to inspect and one of the MC4 connectors was visibly cracked. I touched the connector and it broke off in my hand. I don't even understand how there was 0 resistance. I couldn't find any of the installed wire on either end of the broken connector. Now I hope I don't have to tear out my walls to get to the wiring.Update to the Update:the customer service at Cutting Edge was awesome and they sent me their new, improved version. It has thicker plastic and the MC4 connectors come from a different supplier. I think it will hold up better.I have not installed yet, but I'm impressed by the 3d printed quality of the Entry Gland. I love that it has the MC4 connectors built directly into the box, which I hadn't seen before. I needed the 4 ports to max out the capabilities of my Goal Zero Yeti 3000, which has two separate charge controllers - one with a 360w/22v Max (PWM) and the other with 325w/24v Max (MPPT) input. I've got 2 x 180w panels in parallel going to one of the connectors via a 2 to 1 MC4 adapter and a single 200w panel going into the other connector. Excited to get it all setup!

Heavy duty thick plastic; much stronger than similar products. Has 2 sets of #10 wires connected in parallel to the 2 sets of connectors, so it should be good for about 60 amps. I connected the 2 sets of 10 gauge wire to 6 gauge wire to feed power from four 100 watt solar panels to a Bogart solar controller.

This worked well for adding Solar connectors to outside my travel trailer. Had to make my own weather covers for the connectors though. With the connectors facing down, on a trailer mud and spray would get into the ports so took some spare solar connectors, filled one end with silicone caulk, and use those as covers when my solar panels are not hooked up. It might be a good idea to include some weatherproof covers with the panel.

This partly 3D printed part worked perfectly for my needs! I wanted to add a solar charging port to my teardrop so I could attach a movable solar panel to charge the batteries if I was parked in the shade. I just drilled a couple small holes for the leads in the exterior of the trailer, attached the connector to the siding, wired up the leads, and that was that. Simple and effective. Thank you!!!

400W parallel setup on an old camper and worked like a charm. Easy to seal too

It works as Intended. There is a nice groove on the back for a silicon bead for sealing.
