Solar Combiner Enclosure 5 Environmental Ratings The enclosure is rated for IP 66 and UL Type 3, 4, 4X, 12, and 13 applications when used with the proper UL Type hub or conduit fittings. The enclosures are constructed for either indoor or outdoor use, and provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the enclosed environment. They provide a degree of protection against snow, windblown dust, splashing water, and hose-directed water.

Solar Combiner Enclosure 2. Use a hole cutter or hole saw to create holes at the top and bottom of the enclosure. When using a hole cutter, place the punch on the inside of the enclosure and draw it through to the outside. TIP Install the Conduit Connector and Grounding Adapter Install the conduit connector (hub) and grounding adapter by following these steps. IMPORTANT To guard against enclosure damage, align the conduit to prevent unnecessary stress on the enclosure walls.
