tightness
Based on téchnical dictionary Thompson Paraninfo, on one hand we have "caja de conexiones" is "connection box"; on the other hand we have "caja de estanqueidad" as "glands". In my opinion the author has elapsed "de la" so you should translate it as " tightness of connection box"

Spanish term (edited):
estanqueidad cajas
sealing of the boxes
I think they're using abbreviated or telegraphic style, omitting or eliding "de la"
Before eliding, the phrase was probably:
"ESTANQUEIDAD de las CAJAS CONEXIÓN"
Before eliding, the phrase was probably:
"ESTANQUEIDAD de las CAJAS CONEXIÓN"
