Housing Closing and Tightening
➤
To close the housing
1. Examine the rubber gasket and mesh seal. Remove any foreign material that could interfere
with proper sealing. Dry any moist areas.
2. Close the lid until it is flush with the rubber gasket. Thread all six bolts finger tight to hold the
lid in place. Ensure that the lid seats evenly on the rubber gasket.
3. Begin partially tightening the lid bolts with a 7/16-inch (11 mm) nutdriver following the
pattern shown in Figure 3.12. Ensure that the lid seats evenly on the rubber gasket.
4. Continue the tightening sequence, finally torquing to between 35 and 40 in-lbs (4.0 and
4.5 N·m) with a torque wrench. The lid should now seat evenly and compress the rubber
gasket to create a weatherproof seal.
5. Install testpoint caps on all testpoints and finger tighten. Then use a wrench to tighten the
caps an additional one quarter to one half turn.

Housing Closing and
Tightening Sequence
CAUTION
: Ensure that no wire scraps or foreign materials remain within the housing.
Note
: Close the housing whenever it is left unattended to keep moisture out of the unit
and protect the network from RF interference.
CAUTION
: Do not torque the lid bolts to more than 40 in-lbs (4.5 N·m). Overtightening
may cause the threaded inserts to spin or warp the housing, allowing moisture to enter
and damage the components.
