When I went to Orbit's website, they only list Home Depots within 50 miles of me. Neither Lowes nor HD has them online that I can find. I looked at my closest Lowes today, all they had was by Rainbird. Will check some HDs tomorrow. I have 5 stores within 15 miles of here.jeffUpdate,I went to 4 of the 5 stores. 3 of them are large stores and didn't carry any Orbit systems yet. The stuff is seasonal in some stores I guess. The closest store is also the oldest in the area. It had all the parts and timers, but no boxes. The guy said he would order them for me, but that he would also call me if the seasonal order came in over the next month or so. I'm going to wait and see.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Our local Home Depot also did not carry them but after I told them that I spoke with the manufacturer, saying that they were listed on their website, the manager of our local store called to do a special order for me. He quoted me a price of $25 ea. No extra shipping charges like if you were to order direct. I also supplied manager with the toll free number to call. I've got 3 on the way.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Dremmel, that's no problem. What changes have you made???? Boxes are coming end of week hopefully, and LOR's shouldn't be far behind. I'm sure once I get everything I will see what changes you are suggesting.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Scott,You will have to cut out the molded platic that bolts the electrical outlet to the box out and then you will have to cut out a center molded post that helps hold the front plastic plate on. you will see what i mean when they arrive. Otherwise its a works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I found these on the net. Looks like they'll fit (9"x9"x3"). Not bad in price.http://www.hometech.com/techwire/boxes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thought it was less according to LOR?Dimensions of CTB16DThe CTB16D dimensions with heat sink attached are 6-5/8" wide x 8-5/8" long x 2-1/8" tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Can't tell if would fit because I don't have anything yet. Sorry.Might have to update the dimensions accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are actually almost exactly 9"....I think that the 8-5/8" is the measurement of the heatsinks edge to edge but it does not include the triac mounting screws that stick out beyond them.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 model #57095 Photo Compliments of Scot MeyersThat is very wrong what they quoted you. I would ask to speak to the manager. When I told them I spoke with the manufacturer, also gave HD the phone number to call. I was quoted $25.00 each. Through the manufacturer, they were $34.00 plus shipping. If you can't deal with them, I would wait, if you can untill Light-O-Rama comes out with their new ones they have been talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
