An IP rating classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact and water in electrical enclosures. The first number indicates the protection from solids and the second number is the protection from liquids.

This enclosure has an IP42 rating which means it is only protected from dust and debris and very limited water or liquid ingress, so this product is not recommended for outside use. It is also recommended that when using the enclosure indoors, it is not kept in areas of high moisture or liquid exposure.
