Corrosion Resistant by Design

Corrosion Resistant by Design
Sloped lid and body allows corrosion causing
contaminants to naturally slide off.

Multiple Lid Fixing Points
Provides equal gasket compression for superior
sealing performance.

Better Tool Access
Turned out sealing face means spanners can be brought
into the enclosure parallel with gland locknuts allowing
for an easier installation.

Concealed Silicone Gasket
Amazing sealing performance provided by a single piece
gasket concealed by the enclosure lid.

The Bottom Face: A Better Gland Space
Installing glands through the bottom of the Enclosure has long
been adopted as industry best practice for superior Ingress
