Hi Steve
Most if not all Diplexors i have seen arent water proof. Normally they are in the shack and it saves an additional cable run as I assume you have a dual band higain collinear witha single feedline back to the shack.

Depends on which way round you are using it,
One antenna (dual band) to two radios - then use one low loss cable to unit in shack to both radio's.
OR
Two antennas to one radio - then use at the antenna in a water proof box, that way can still use only the one low loss cable to the dual band radio.
