thread conforming to ANSI B1.20.1. A minimum of (5) full threads engagement is required for all conduit connections.
Conduit sealing fittings must be installed within 18 inches of the enclosure. Sealing fittings must be approved for the
specific hazardous location where the enclosure is used. All unused conduit openings must be plugged using close-up
plugs. Plugs must be tightly installed with a minimum engagement of (5) full threads.

▲ Inspect and clean the machined flange flame joint surfaces of both the cover and the box. Surfaces must be smo
free of nicks, scratches, dirt or any foreign particle build-up that would prevent a proper seal. Surfaces must seat fully
against each other to provide a proper explosion-proof joint. Clean surfaces by wiping with a clean, lint-free cloth.

MAINTENANCE DATA

WARNING: Before servicing the enclosure, be sure the electrical power is OFF. Disconnect the enclosure from

the primary power source and lock-out.

After installation, this enclosure should be inspected at regular intervals. A visual inspection should ascertain that all
cover bolts are still tight; that all conduit connections are intact and free of corrosion, and that the enclosure mounting
bolts are tight and in good condition.
If the enclosure must be opened for servicing, to check or replace internal devices and apparatus, the following
procedures should be followed:

Loosen cover bolts. Replace any corr

oded, bent or otherwise damaged bolts with new, factory authorized bolts obtained
from an authorized Larson Electronics distributor. Open enclosure. Do not use hammer, screwdriver or any prying tool to
open cover.

surfaces by sanding, grinding, etc. Surfaces must seat fully against each other to provide a proper explosion-proof joint.

Inspe

ct water exclusion gasket. If gasket is damaged, do not attempt field replacement or repair. Contact a factory
authorized representative for a replacement cover. The damaged gasket can be removed from the cover, and the cover
without gasket can be used until a replacement is obtained. The cover, without gasket, can be safely used in Class I & II
hazardous (classified) locations, however, the enclosure may not be rain-tight or hose-down resistant. Follow Installation
