Best For
Common scopes where the Arlington EB0708BP (and the rest of the Security Products line) earns its place on the spec. It's not an exhaustive list, but it's a fast read on whether this is the right family for your application before you go deeper on the cut sheet.
- Keypad enclosures

Why Contractors Choose It
- Listed for the applications stated on the Arlington spec sheet, so there are no jurisdictional surprises at inspection.
- Built for outdoor and tamper-prone installs where standard NEMA 1 enclosures fail the inspection or fail the season.
- Distributed by a Canadian-owned stocking dealer. Maple Electric Supply ships from Ontario, so the SKU lands on site without cross-border duty calcs or week-long customs holds.
- Backed by Arlington's North American manufacturing footprint. It's the same part number you've already spec'd on prior jobs, with the same listings.
- Replacement and add-on availability runs through a Canadian supply channel, so short-notice job sites can pull additional units without re-engineering the order.

Installation Notes
- Class 2 keypad and camera circuits must terminate in approved enclosures. Outdoor units require wet-location rating per CEC 26-700.
-
Primary code reference: CEC Section 16 (Class 2 Low Voltage); CEC 26-700 (Outdoor enclosures).
- Verify the Arlington listing on the current spec sheet matches your local AHJ's adopted code edition, since provincial amendments to the CEC can override the federal base text.
- Confirm trade size, mounting style, and accessory pairing against the project drawings before ordering in volume. Maple Electric Supply's counter staff can pull the cut sheet on request.
- Installation must be completed by a qualified electrician where required by local code; the homeowner / unlicensed scope is narrower in Ontario than in several US jurisdictions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Patterns we see on returns, callbacks, and inspection re-visits around the Security Products line. Most of them are small and avoidable when the right SKU and accessory get pulled at the counter.
- Selecting an indoor NEMA 1 box for an outdoor install
- Forgetting the cord-grip for cable entry
- Mounting without proper grounding bond (CEC Section 10)
- Using a non-lockable enclosure where code requires lock

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the Arlington EB0708BP UL and/or CSA listed?
Arlington components are listed for the applications stated by the manufacturer. Always verify the listing on the product's spec sheet against your jurisdiction's adopted code.
-
Is this part made in the USA?
Arlington Industries manufactures the bulk of its catalog in the United States. Confirm origin on the current spec sheet if it matters for your project.
-
Indoor or outdoor rated?
Varies by configuration. Check the EB0708BP datasheet for the exact dimensions, ratings, and accessory list before ordering in volume. Arlington updates spec sheets periodically, so spec the live version from the manufacturer's site for the current job.
-
What NEMA classification does the enclosure carry?
The EB0708BP datasheet is the authoritative source on this. Arlington publishes torque specs, listed conductor ranges, and accepted accessories per part number, and those values shift between revisions even when the SKU stays the same.
-
Does it accept standard keypad / camera footprints?
Confirm against the published Arlington EB0708BP cut sheet; values shift between configurations even inside the same family. Maple Electric Supply can email a current copy on request and flag any recent revisions that changed listed ratings.
-
Lockable?
Maple Electric Supply can pull the EB0708BP spec sheet on request. Answers here depend on the specific configuration and the listed conditions of use. Anything that affects code compliance should come straight from the manufacturer's current published documentation.
-
Cable entry knockouts and sizes?
Refer to the EB0708BP product page on Arlington's site or contact Maple Electric Supply for a copy of the current spec sheet with all listed ratings. Generic family-level guidance is a starting point, but the SKU-level sheet is what the inspector will reference.
