NEMA 6P

I would say NO based on this

Type 6P Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree
of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts; to provide a degree of
protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects
(falling dirt); to provide a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the
equipment due to the ingress of water (hose directed water and the entry of water
during prolonged submersion at a limited depth); that provides an additional level of
protection against corrosion and that will be undamaged by the external formation of ice
on the enclosure.

I found this

It's another first from Carlon? - the first nonmetallic junction boxes UL Listed with a NEMA 6P rating per Section 370-29, exception of the 1999 National Electrical Code. Manufactured from PVC or PPO thermoplastic molding compound and featuring gasketed lids attached with stainless steel screws, these rugged enclosures offer all the corrosion resistance and physical properties you need for direct burial applications. Type 6P enclosures are intended for indoor or outdoor use, primarily to provide a degree of protection against contact with enclosed equipment, falling dirt, hose-directed water, entry of water during prolonged submersion at a limited depth, and external ice formation.

Thanks Dennis, I saw that, too. Local supply house here sells Cantex with 6P rating, but with zinc screws rather than the SS screws. Also no mention of direct burial. Should probably order the Carlon.
