INLINE Enclosure Accessories
INLINE HMI enclosures are ideal for applications where housing and protecting small HMI devices is required. They have multiple options for many configurations and are highly adaptable.
nVent Hoffman Solid-Back Body enclosures are made of 16 gauge steel with an open front. The front is configured to install optional fixed windows, deep-hinged windows or fixed bezels. Panels or DIN rails mount on studs in the rear of the enclosure. Rear-Access Body enclosures are made of 16 gauge steel with a rear-access door. The front is configured to install optional fixed windows, deep-hinged windows or fixed bezels. The rear door accepts most INLINE door accessories.
nVent Hoffman Fixed-Window Kits have a die-cast frame with a clear polycarbonate window. The preassembled kits are secured to the front opening of INLINE enclosures. Deep-Hinged Windows have a 1.25 inch space between the enclosure front opening and the window surface. The space accommodates equipment mounted on an optional front plate.
Mounting Electrical Enclosures
Before mounting to any surface, it is important to understand how the hardware will interface with the enclosure. In many cases, the enclosures will have holes at the corners that can be used to attach any mounting hardware. It is common to see a mounting strut, commonly referring to as a Unistrut, being used with these electrical enclosures. The Unistrut can attach to the enclosure and provide a very strong connection point to either a wall, concrete or pole mount.
When mounting to a concrete wall, there are several things that should be considered to ensure it is done correctly. Industrial concrete anchors provide a very strong and reliable connection that can last a very long time. Make sure that the concrete is thick and strong enough for these types of anchors. Once the anchors have been installed, attach them to the mounting strut that is attached to the enclosure using hardware that is designed for that particular type of mounting strut.
When installing an electrical enclosure on a pole or mass, it is important to make sure that the pole can handle the weight of the enclosure. It is recommended that the pole is made of a very strong rigid material. At least two inch rigid galvanized conduit is recommended. Once the pole has been secured into the ground, strut clamps designed for the size of conduit will attach the enclosure.
