page.
5.0 COMBINER BOX MOUNTING
VENTILATION CONSIDERATION
Maintain a minimum clearance of 1" on all 4 sides of the enclosure.
Holes in the back plate are not recommended and will void the
product warranty. Place in desired location on a sturdy frame and
use the appropriate hardware to mount the combiner box.
The steel combiner box may be mounted vertically (door opens
out) only. The fiberglass combiner box may be mounted both
horizontally and vertically.
Place the box in areas out of continuous water flow and extreme
temperature. NEMA 4X rated breather/drains (CHBVKIT4X) are
recommended for horizontal applications and climates prone
to condensation. Desiccant can be added by the end-user for
corrosion inhibiting.
6.0 CONDUIT ROUTING
6.1. CONDUIT HOLES
Please refer to Figure 1 for conduit entry areas on the enclosure for
all models. Cut conduit holes in the desired location. The preferred
method is the use of a Greenlee
The punch of the cutter should be placed on the inside of the
enclosure and drawn to the outside. Remove all shavings and
debris from enclosure.
6.2. CONNECTOR TYPE
The use of a listed UL514B or equivalent conduit fittings is required
to maintain the environmental rating of the enclosure. Refer to the
NEC for proper wire fill of conduit connections. Installation of fittings
must comply with UL50 for U.S. installations and CSA C22.2 No. 94
for Canadian installations to maintain rating of the enclosure. See
Figure 2 for suitable connectors. For use with rigid/IMC conduit use of
