The local box store had 'em. I used them on my grounding bus and dual rotator
protector boxes:

I b'lieve I paid a buck or so each. They're not waterproof but, they're on the
leeward side of my house and under the roof overhang. No noticeable water
ingress. Watertight connectors are available.

I've purchased some kits of assorted sizes of these from tmart or
banggood at great prices and can't tell the difference between them and
other US sources at 2 - 3x the price. Gotta wait a week or more for
delivery. Scroll to see other size choices. I've used a lot of them
for choke or balun j-boxes, rotator overtravel logic, etc. All have
stayed watertight so far. Don't think they would work on corrugated
hardline.
