The Polycarbonate Modular Flange System is similar in design to our Fiberglass Modular Flange System in that these enclosures can be used as stand alone units or can be bolted together with connecting tunnel flanges and wedges. The Polycarbonate 1700 system features a greater range of sizes and is made of glass-filled Polycarbonate, a very economical material. One additional difference is that each Polycarbonate Modular Flange box is a complete enclosure unto itself, without the insertion of flanges.
     The Polycarbonate Modular Flange System covers a broad spectrum of applications because they can be combined in so many ways. This system is ideal in applications where add-on capability or routine entry into the enclosure for maintenance is required. Some major benefits of this enclosure system are: they are very economical; they can be used in combination with any other modular polycarbonate flange enclosures; and working with the flanges is easy. The most common applications for Polycarbonate Flange enclosures are in the automotive industry, in electrical installations, and in areas where frequent rewiring is necessary.
     The 1700 system consists of six different sizes of enclosures that can be used alone or connected together with tunnel adapters. Length and width dimensions are easily expandable by adding additional enclosures. Standard units, made of glass-filled polycarbonate, are UV stabilized to improve weather resistance and have a low halogen content which helps prevent the release of toxic halogenated gases when burned. The material brings strength, ruggedness, and weather/corrosion resistance to this very economical enclosure system. Our Polycarbonate Modular Flange enclosures have a NEMA 12 (IP 65) ingress protection rating and are mainly used indoors.
     Each unit includes a base and a lid with a polyurethane foam gasket. All lids come with captive, quick-release, Phillips-head lid screws, also made of glass-filled Polycarbonate material. Flanges, tunnel adapters, internal mounting plates, internal mounting clips, internal mounting boss inserts, internal hinges, DIN Rails, external brackets, wedges and stainless steel grounding strips are sold separately as accessories.
     Every enclosure comes with molded-in partitions in the sidewalls that can be knocked-out to accept the connecting tunnels or flanges. The simple interlocking clip and wedge design makes this process quick and easy. To remove the molded-in partitions in the enclosure sidewalls, simply score the perimeter of the partition with a razor knife then knock out the partition. To attach flanges and tunnel adapters, interlock clips at the bottom, then secure at the top with wedges. Some flanges have molded-in knockouts designed to accept Rose+Bopla cable grips.
     Depending on the application, the flange openings can be configured with either blind, threaded or connecting flanges.
