[RE-wrenches] raintite box mounting angle

[Peter Parrish]

I think it would come down to the manufacturers installation instructions
(to accompany the UL listing). In their absence, I don't know. As a case in
point, there is one DC combiner box that MUST be mounted vertically and at
least one other that MAY be mounted at an angle other than vertical. Both
were otherwise listed 3R. I don't remember who was who (this was a couple of
years ago), but the manus were very specific.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] raintite box mounting angle

 

Hello,

 

Can anyone give a recommendation for a minimum mounting angle of a raintite
box? Ideally 90 degrees, but in this case I may be forced to mount it at the
same angle as the panels - about 25 degrees, mounted off the roof about 6
inches. I don't think there is any reference in the NEC to this. It will be
off the roof about 6 inches in a mild climate, where they only get about 20
inches of snow a year. Thanks.
