A factory Waterguard desiccant pack has been provided. The purpose of this
desiccant is to absorb and remove water on contact or from the atmosphere
and protect the enclosed equipment from damage. The desiccant packet will
expand 3 to 4 times its original size. Desiccant should be checked and
replaced at regular equipment service intervals or every 3 to 6 months.
For replacement desiccant packets, order Cat. # WG22 (protects 2-3 cubic
feet of air space and is recommended for terminal housings); or Cat. # WG33
(protects 4 to 5 feet of air space and is recommended for circuit breaker
housings)
Waterguard is non-toxic, emits no fumes, and generates no heat during use.
No gloves, masks or special clothing is required to handle this product.
Always clean both ground joint surfaces of body and cover before closing. Dirt
or foreign material must not accumulate on flat joint surfaces. Surfaces must
seat fully against each other to provide a proper explosion proof seal.
