Appendix A
Pad-Mounted Enclosure Finish
The responsibility for ensuring a finish protects the
enclosure lies with both the manufacturer and the user.
S&C Vista SD Underground Distribution Switchgear is
fi nished with the S&C Ultradur® Finishing System, which
provides lasting protection for the enclosure. To retain
this protection, the user should take periodic corrective
action as follows:
STEP 1.
Touch up any penetration of the fi nish to bare
metal, such as scratches and abrasions caused
during shipping or by vandalism, to maintain the
original integrity. S&C touch-up fi nish and
primer are available in aerosol spray cans. Order
catalog number 999-080 for light gray fi nish,
9999-058 for olive green fi nish, 9991363-493 for
seafoam green, 9991363-488 for equipment
green, and 9999-061 for red-oxide primer. See
Figure 27. No other fi nish or primer is approved.
The area to be touched up should be cleaned to
remove oil and grease. Sand the area to remove
any traces of rust that may be present, and make
sure all edges are feathered before applying
primer.
STEP 2.
Provide an occasional simple washdown—
similar to what would be given to an automobile—
to remove surface contaminants. Use any
ordinary mild household detergent solution.
In cases where the user must refinish the enclosure
before the finish has weathered, such as when matching
to other equipment, the user must take special precaution.
The entire surface must be sanded to provide a tooth to
bond the new coat to the unusually tough and smooth
S&C Ultradur Finish.

red-oxide primer and touch-up finish.
