Product Information
The GARO GCUT118 is an 18-module, single-row IP65 enclosure for building a weatherproof distribution board where water or dust is a concern. Typical uses include garages, outbuildings, farm buildings, plant rooms, external supplies and temporary site installations. It is supplied empty, so you can fit the MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs or isolators the job needs.
The enclosure is moulded from halogen-free ABS and polycarbonate and rated IK08 for impact. It has a transparent, UV-protected hinged door that opens to 180°, so you can see device status without opening the board. The four screws that join the base to the frame can be sealed.
- 18 DIN rail modules in a single row
- IP65 and IK08 rated
- Clear, UV-protected door with 180° opening
- DIN rail adjustable to two height positions
- Cable entries: 12 x M20, 6 x M25, 2 x M32, 1 x M40
Earth and neutral bars in a double-height section are available for currents up to 125A. Check what is supplied with your order. Installation must comply with current wiring regulations. Covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
The enclosure is rated IP65, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against water jets, and IK08 for impact resistance. The door is UV protected. That makes it suitable for many outdoor and damp locations such as outbuildings, gardens and farm buildings, provided all cable entries are made with suitably rated glands. Check the manufacturer's instructions for mounting and operating temperature limits of -25°C to +40°C.
No. This is an empty enclosure, so you choose and fit the protective devices for the circuits you are installing, such as MCBs, RCBOs, RCDs or a main switch. It takes standard 18mm DIN rail modules. Make sure the devices you choose are suitable for the enclosure and the expected load and heat output. Installation must comply with current wiring regulations.
GARO lists earth and neutral bars for this range in a double-height section rated up to 125A. Sources differ on whether they come fitted as standard or are supplied as accessories, so check the contents with us before ordering if you need them. Make sure the bars you use have enough terminals for the number of circuits you plan to wire.
Use the moulded cable entry points and fit suitably rated glands or conduit adaptors for each cable, and seal any unused openings. Keep the door closed and the screws fully tightened. Mount the enclosure on a flat surface so the seals sit evenly. Cable glands and fittings with a lower IP rating will reduce the protection of the whole assembly. Check the manufacturer's instructions.
