August:

Who manufactures these connectors?  Do you have a part number?

Marco:

Don't forget that if you do not have splices in an outdoor J box, and if
your wire is wet location rated, you are not required to use Nema 3R boxes
and fittings.

Marco,
 
Interesting question. May I ask why you want to use a Myers hub rather than
a standard wet-loc outdoor connector?
 
My understanding is that Myers hubs are used for weatherproofing and bonding
(when used with a metal box) because the inside nut is serrated. See NEC
250.92(B)(2) and 314.15(A). 
 
Anyone agree or disagree with me?

Anyone know if Myers hubs are acceptable to use outdoors to attach to a
non-metallic enclosure?
 
thanks,
