Watertight boxes

I'm looking for a cheap watertight box about 10" long by 3.5" wide by

2.5" tall. I can't seem to find anything via DigiKey or Mouser. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't care what material it is, cost is the main factor. $30 or less would be great.

Thank you-

Search on "nema enclosure" and "ip enclosure" for others.

If you're building the device and can fiddle with the layout, there's the old PVC pipe trick.

Look up 'IP ratings'.

. . If, *instead* of using an email address for a username, you would use JUST A NAME--without a domain tacked on,

*THAT* won't be obfuscated by Google and it will make it easier for others (especially other Google Groupers).

Long and Thin boxes are a bit thin on the ground. A while ago I needed one to go in a lighting column & the only thing I found was a diecast one from Rolec in their AluKOM range :

They also do some aimed at things like crane pendant controls which are in a long-thin format (conTrol range)

AutomationDirect.com has a variety of enclosures with a variety of NEMA ratings, for example:

I've purchased from AutomationDirect.com previously for a push-buton enclosure and I didn't have any problems with the transaction and was able to contact people by phone for questions.
