Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the suffix SS63, which denotes the inclusion of three gland plates. Confirm that the Type 316 stainless steel construction aligns with the environmental corrosion requirements of the installation site. Ensure the hazardous location certification class matches the local regulatory zone definitions before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high corrosion resistance is critical due to the use of Type 316 stainless steel rather than standard carbon steel. Choose this unit if the application requires pre-installed gland plates for immediate cable routing. Verify that the internal dimensions accommodate the specific components being housed within the 500 x 350 x 205 mm footprint.
