Weatherproof electrical box

1. A weatherproof electrical box, comprising:

a housing having a first enclosure volume and an opening to the first enclosure volume, wherein the housing is configured for horizontal mounting within a structure and to receive a device mounted within a vertical wall of the first enclosure volume,

wherein the housing further comprises a bottom having at least one flat portion and a single inclined portion, wherein the one flat portion and the single inclined portion are underlying the device when the device is mounted within the vertical wall to direct water flow in the first enclosure volume away from the device;

a cover connected with the housing to cover the opening;

a cable configuration element extending from the cover and into the first enclosure volume,

wherein the cable configuration element retains a cable connected with the device in a downwardly extending surface configuration when the cover covers the opening; and

a splash guard element projecting from the single inclined portion of the bottom of the housing into the first enclosure volume,

wherein the splash guard element is spaced from the cable when the cable is connected to the device.

2. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 1 , wherein the downwardly extending surface configuration comprises a loop.

3. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 1 , further comprising a splash guard element includes a cut out interior portion for permitting passage of the cable.

4. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 1 , wherein the splash guard element limits water from splashing toward the device.

5. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 1 , further comprising a cable door in the cover, wherein the cable extend from the first enclosure volume to an exterior of the housing through the cable door.

6. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a second enclosure volume environmentally isolated from the first enclosure volume, wherein the device is mounted in the second enclosure volume.

7. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 1 , further comprising at least one opening in the bottom of the housing, wherein the at least one opening allows water within the first enclosure volume to flow out of the first enclosure volume.

8. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 7 , wherein the single inclined portion of the bottom is configured to direct water flow in the first enclosure volume away from the device and toward the at least one opening.

9. A weatherproof electrical box, comprising:

a housing having a first enclosure volume and an opening to the first enclosure volume,

wherein the housing is configured for horizontal mounting within a structure and to receive a device mounted within a vertical wall of the first enclosure volume,

wherein the housing further comprises a bottom having at least one flat portion and a single inclined portion, wherein the one flat portion and the single inclined portion are underlying the device when the device is mounted within the vertical wall to direct water flow in the first enclosure volume away from the device;

a cover connected with the housing to cover the opening,

wherein the housing further comprises at least one opening in the bottom of the housing to allow water within the first enclosure volume to flow out of the housing and away from the device; and

a cable configuration element integrally formed with and projecting from the single inclined bottom of the housing and into the first enclosure volume,

wherein the cable configuration element is configured to cause the formation of a loop in a cable connected with the device mounted in the housing,

wherein the loop overlies the at least one opening in the bottom surface of the housing.

10. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 9 , wherein the cable configuration element comprises a T-shaped configuration.

11. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 10 , wherein the cable configuration element comprises at least one hook for retaining the cable under the cable configuration element.

12. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 9 , further comprising:

a splash guard element projecting from single inclined portion of the bottom of the housing into the first enclosure volume,

wherein the splash guard element is spaced from the cable when the cable is connected to the device.

13. A weatherproof electrical box, comprising:

a housing having a first enclosure volume and an opening to the first enclosure volume,

wherein the housing is configured to receive a device mounted therein,

wherein the housing further comprises a bottom having at least one flat portion and a single inclined portion, wherein the one flat portion and the single inclined portion are underlying the device when the device is mounted within a vertical wall of the housing to direct water flow in the first enclosure volume away from the device;

a cover connected with the housing to cover the opening;

a cable configuration element integrated with the electrical box to form a loop in a cable connected to the device to direct water flowing along the cable away from the device; and

a splash guard element extending from a bottom surface of the housing and into the first enclosure volume,

wherein the splash guard element limits splashing of water toward the device, and

wherein the splash guard element is spaced from the cable when the cable is connected to the device.

14. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 13 , wherein the housing comprises a second enclosure volume environmentally isolated from the first enclosure volume, wherein the device is mounted in the second enclosure volume.

15. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 13 , wherein the cable configuration element extends from the cover and into the first enclosure volume.

16. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 13 , wherein the housing further comprises at least one opening in a bottom surface of the housing to allow water within the first enclosure volume to flow out of the housing and away from the device.

17. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 13 , wherein the cable configuration element is integrally formed with and projects from the bottom surface of the housing and into the first enclosure volume.

18. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 17 , wherein the cable configuration element comprises a T-shaped configuration.

19. The weatherproof electrical box of claim 18 , wherein the cable configuration element comprises at least one hook for retaining the cable under the cable configuration element to form the loop in the cable.
