A watertight enclosure for use in an outdoor junction box for use in housing electrical connections such as solar panel installations includes a mating base and cover. The base is bounded by an upstanding peripheral wall having a channel profiled in the top. The mating cover has an outwardly facing channel formed by upper and lower peripheral parallel flanges. The lower flange on the cover fits into the channel in the box member and the upper flange overlaps the outer wall leaving a slight gap providing the only opening to the otherwise enclosed duct about the periphery of the assembly. Wires passing through bores in the upstanding wall are sealed by compressing elastomeric spheres which bore into conformity with the wires passing therethrough.

A rain tight enclosure which comprises: a first closure member having a first circumferential channel opening in one direction, said first channel being defined by an inner wall, an outer wall, and a floor therebetween; a second closure member having a second circumferential channel opening outward, said second channel being defined by a first flange, a bottom wall extending downwardly from said first flange, and a second flange, contiguous with said bottom wall, substantially parallel to said first flange, said second channel being profiled to be received in said first channel when said second closure member is placed over said first closure member, the intersection of the first and second channels forming a peripherally extending duct about an interior of said enclosure.
