[RE-wrenches] Thermal issues with PVC (was RE: raintite box mounting angle)<br></font><br> <meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="off"> You can get metal NEMA 4 and NEMA 12, gasket sealed boxes made by Hoffman. There should be no deformation issues. The only possible issue could be the temperature of the gasket, but it would be held in place by the clamped cover. Have the gaskets had an issue with the deformed PVC boxes? <br><br> <br><br> At 10:44 PM 8/24/2009, you wrote:<br> <blockquote type="cite" class="cite" cite="">Hans,<br><br> that is an interesting reference, well done.<br> what about if the box is under the panels and only experiencing ambient temperatures?<br> That is kind of my current preference when I have to use pvc due to the deforming issues...<br> since the panels are movable by unbolting the slow-release mounting system, it is alright.<br><br> _______________________________________________<br> List
