1. Remove the ange using the tabs on the sides of the end cap.
Making Custom End Caps
One of the cool things about the watertight enclosure design is that it’s compatible with all sort of end cap sizes and
shapes. We’ve got a few dierent ones available but we encourage you to design your own to perfectly suit your
application.
The CAD les above as well as the DXF drawing le attached below will give you a good starting point for your design.
You’ll need access to either 3D modeling software like SolidWorks or AutoCAD or 2D drawing software like Adobe
Illustrator, Inkscape, and others.

WTE4-P-END-CAP-R1.DXF (/wte/dxf/WTE4-P-END-CAP-R1.DXF)
Here are a few things to remember:
We recommend the following thicknesses of cast acrylic to handle the pressure:
2” Series: 6mm / 0.25”
3” Series: 9mm / 0.375”
4” Series: 12mm / 0.50”
Note the inner diameter of the aluminum sealing ange and ensure that any holes are within that diameter
Feel free to extend beyond the original shape to add mounting holes, etc.
Once you have a design, you can cut the parts yourself if you have a laser cutter or use an online service. We have
frequently used Pololu Laser Cutting (https://www.pololu.com/product/749) with great results!
