FAQs

What does 'NEMA Rated Other' mean for this flange?

NEMA 'Other' indicates that the product meets certain NEMA standards but may not conform to the specific requirements of all standard NEMA enclosure types. For precise application suitability, refer to detailed NEMA enclosure standards and consult Eaton's technical documentation.

Can I use this flange outdoors?

The FL4-X is constructed from untreated plastic and is rated NEMA 'Other'. While it offers some protection, it is generally best suited for indoor or protected environments. Prolonged outdoor exposure without additional environmental protection may degrade the material and compromise its sealing capabilities.

How many cable entries does this flange support?

The Eaton FL4-X is a closed flange and has 0 connector holes. It is designed to seal an opening or to be combined with a separate gland plate that would have the necessary punched holes for cable entries.

What is the purpose of the captive seal?

The captive seal is integrated to ensure a tight and reliable closure when the flange is installed on the enclosure. It helps to prevent the ingress of dust, moisture, and other environmental contaminants, maintaining the integrity of the enclosure.

What types of threads can be used with this flange?

This flange is suitable for nominal thread sizes ranging from metric/PG 16 to metric/PG 50. This allows for flexibility when connecting various types of conduits or cable glands, provided they are compatible with these thread sizes.

Are there different color options available?

Based on the provided information, this specific model (FL4-X) is described as grey plastic. Other models or variants might be available in different colors, but this particular flange is specified as grey.

Troubleshooting

Flange does not fit securely.

Ensure the enclosure surface is clean and flat. Verify that the wedge connection mechanism is fully engaged and that the flange is correctly oriented for your enclosure type.

Seal appears to be damaged or compressed.

Inspect the captive seal for any cuts, tears, or flattening. If damaged, the seal may need to be replaced to ensure proper enclosure protection. Contact Eaton support for replacement parts if necessary.

Difficulty inserting cables through the flange opening.

The FL4-X is a closed flange with 0 connector holes. It is intended to close an opening or to be used in conjunction with a separate gland plate for cable entry. Ensure you are using an appropriate accessory if cable entry is required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Eaton FL4-X Flange is designed to be straightforward. It utilizes a wedge connection system, allowing for quick and easy attachment to compatible enclosure structures. Ensure the mounting surface on the enclosure is clean and free of debris before attempting installation.

Care:
