Installation Instructions
and Accessory Applications
English
Mounting Feet:
This enclosure is shipped with its mounting brackets and
installation screws packaged inside. Bracket design permits this
enclosure mounted with major dimension vertical. The purchase
of mounting feet (Part No. CJB 159) permits this enclosure to
be mounted with the major dimension horizontal to the ground.
(Cut out style only.) Use athead screw (1/4-20x1/2”) to secure
brackets to enclosure. Securely tightening the mounting brackets
will insure positive positioning of the enclosure. Torque limits for
these athead screws are 50 in-lbs (maximum).
Covers:
The fastenings for the cover are captive slotted stainless steel
lister head screws (10-32), which are factory installed. The
torqued down limits for these screws are 25 in-lbs (maximum).
Installation of Conduit:
1) CONDUIT HOLES:
Cut holes in enclosure (when required) at the desired location.
The use of a standard hole saw is the preferred method.
For proper location of hubs, prepare a paper template with
the recommended B x C (End Installation) or A x C (Side
Installation) dimensions. Reference the table below for the
specic enclosure size. Position a standard hole saw anywhere
within the rectangle and drill (care should be taken to prevent
damaging the bosses). The maximum hub and hole size varies
with the size of the enclosure.
Reference point F should always be centered midway
between the bosses.
For side installation on hinge models, hinge side, conduit holes
should be positioned a minimum of 1” from bottom of hinge
assembly. All other dimensions are the same as on hingeless
models.
C Series Enclosures do not have the same conduit placement
requirements. It is recommended that hole locations be
centered on the sides a minimum of 1-1/2” from the bottom
and 2-1/2” from the top.

2) CONDUIT CONNECTIONS:
a. Metallic Conduit:
1. Secure the conduit connector (hub) onto the conduit, as
the hub shall be connected to the conduit BEFORE the
hub is connected to the enclosure.
2. Secure conduit connector (hub) into the prepared
enclosure hole using the connector locknut.
3. Attach grounding bushing having the proper size ground
wire lug over the connector locknut.
CAUTION
In accordance with the National Electrical Code, the
enclosure must be bonded between the grounding
bushings or between the grounding bushings and
the equipment grounding terminal (when provided).
Carlon Watertight Hubs
(See Hub Section)
Figure 2
b. Nonmetallic Conduit (see illustration above): Secure
conduit to the conduit connector (hub), and the
hub shall be connected to the conduit BEFORE the
hub is connected to the enclosure, then secured
into the prepared hole using the connector locknut.
NOTE: Ground bushing not required when
attaching to nonmetallic conduit.
TA04617 C Page 1 of 4
CAUTION
To prevent enclosure damage and attain the enclosure
requirements, the conduit should be aligned so as to
prevent unnecessary stress on the enclosure walls.
To obtain maximum corrosion protection, with
metallic conduit and hub assemblies, cover (coat)
all exposed metal and seal off the conduit openings
where the conductors enter the enclosures.
Grounding of Equipment:
Install the grounding conductor in accordance with the
requirements of the National Electrical Code. See illustrations
below for metallic and nonmetallic conduit.
Hubs:
For metallic conduit application the use of a Listed Hub and
Grounding Bushing System is required.
For nonmetallic conduit application, use Carlon’s male adapter
(sizes E943 through E943R) and “O” ring (sizes E943DX through
E943RX) with bushing (sizes E943DY through E943RY).

Catalog Number CH 100R, have been added to the design
to reduce dirt and dust accumulation in the hinge pin and lid
assembly.
To position the hinge caps, align the snap tang and push.
To remove hinge caps, insert a point (such as a pencil) in the
lid hinge section and push the pencil point toward the side
of the enclosure. This will permit the snap tang to clear the
molded interference. Then pull the hinge cap from the slot.
