Enclosure without Handle Cutout
● Enclosures with a Flange Thickness less than 3/16" use dimensions below to install disconnect handle.
● Enclosures with a Flange Thickness 3/16" and greater use dimensions in alternate Mounting Kit 1494V-H3 to install disconnect
handle.
● Multi-Door Enclosures may require the need for a more rigid flange / mounting plate system, such as a Channel Support Kit. Use
dimensions in Channel Support Kit 1494V-H15, if handle is mounted on top of the channel.
