  II.I Overview

The QBox Junction Box sits on top of a durable anodized aluminum flashing which utilizes Quick Mount PV’s patented 

Elevated Water Seal Technology™ to waterproof the fasteners that connect the QBox to the roof.  The QBox is designed 

to secure to the roof’s sheathing without a pilot hole for fast installation and optimal roof placement.   In addition, the 

QBox leverages the Elevated Water Seal Technology to create a waterproof pass-through for conduit from the QBox 

to the attic. 

The QBox enclosure is made from highly durable and weather resistant polycarbonate.  With excellent impact 

resistance and a wide operating temperature range, this product is suitable for all environments.  In addition, since it is 

made of nonconductive material there is no need to ground the box or its door.  A drill starter around the outside of the 

entire enclosure ensures the perfect hole location for your conduit attachment every time.  All included components 

come unpackaged in the QBox to reduce installation time and packaging material management.  

The QBox comes fully equipped with flashing, fasteners to install it to the deck, fittings for the through-the-deck 

conduit attachment, and waterproof wire nuts to either transition or combine two strings of conductors.
