Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Hex driver or wrench, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gasket, Outer plate, Retainer plate, Hex nut

  1. Prepare the enclosure hole

    Check the hole size in the enclosure to ensure it is within the specified range of 0.984 - 1.082 inches. Clean and de-burr the hole, ensuring the edge is at least 12mm from the edge of the enclosure gland plate.

  2. Mount the gasket

    Place the gasket onto the outer plate, ensuring it is properly aligned for sealing.

  3. Install the outer plate

    Fit the outer plate and gasket into the cable entry from the outside of the enclosure. Verify that the gasket is properly sealing the enclosure before proceeding.

  4. Secure the retainer plate

    Mount the retainer plate onto the stud and secure it with the hex nut using a 3/8 inch hex driver or wrench. Torque to 18 in*lb (2 N*m) without over-tightening.
