FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Hensel MI FP 38 Mounting Flange?
The MIFP38 is designed to securely mount electrical enclosures to walls, providing a weather-resistant interface and ensuring a reliable connection, especially for outdoor installations.
Is this flange suitable for indoor use only?
No, the MIFP38 is specifically designed for outdoor placement and is built to withstand weather conditions, although it can also be used indoors.
What material is the flange made from?
The flange is constructed from impact-resistant, halogen and silicone-free polycarbonate, colored RAL 7035 with a transparent cover.
What does 'double-insulated (protection class II)' mean?
It means the product has enhanced electrical safety features, providing an extra layer of insulation to protect users from electric shock, without relying on earthing.
What is the glow wire test rating?
The flange meets the DIN VDE 0471 Part 2 standard for glow wire testing at 960 °C, indicating its resistance to heat and ignition.
What size wall opening is required for installation?
The flange is designed with an Mi FP 38 attachment flange for housing walls of approximately 300mm.
How should I clean the mounting flange?
Clean the flange using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the polycarbonate material.
Troubleshooting
Flange does not seal properly against the wall.
Ensure the wall opening is the correct size (300mm) and that the elastic sealing membranes are clean and undamaged. Check for any obstructions preventing a flush fit.
Enclosure is difficult to attach to the flange.
Verify that the flange is securely mounted to the wall and that the enclosure's mounting points align correctly. Ensure the quick closures are properly aligned and free of debris.
Visible degradation of the polycarbonate material.
While highly resistant, prolonged extreme UV exposure or harsh chemicals could affect the material. Inspect for significant cracking or chalking. If degradation is severe, consider replacement to maintain integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the mounting surface (wall) has an opening precisely sized for the Mi FP 38 attachment flange (typically 300mm).
- Align the flange with the wall opening, utilizing the elastic sealing membranes for a snug fit.
- Secure the flange to the wall according to standard building practices, ensuring it is firmly attached.
- Mount the electrical enclosure onto the flange using the provided tool-operated quick closures or appropriate mounting hardware for your enclosure model.
Compatibility:
- This flange is specifically designed for wall mounting electrical enclosures.
- The 'Mi FP 38' designation suggests compatibility with Hensel's Mi enclosure series, particularly those designed for 300mm wall openings.
- Always verify the dimensions and mounting points of your intended enclosure against the specifications of the MIFP38.
Care:
- Clean the flange using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the polycarbonate.
- Periodically inspect the sealing membranes for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if compromised to maintain weatherproofing.
- Ensure quick closures remain functional and free from debris.
