Catalog number RHONSD standard depth shafts are for
use in 11 in. deep enclosures. Refer to minimum K
dimension in Figure 2. Catalog number RHONVD variable
depth shafts are used for all other enclosure depths up to
20.66 in. deep. Shafts are cut to length L as shown in
Figure 2.
C. Place circuit breaker mounting holes (Figure 1) in breaker
mounting surface (1) and handle mounting holes in enclo-
