- Page 2 Introduction The DXE-UE-2P is a weather-resistant, high impact thermoplastic enclosure which is ideal for outdoor mounting of all types of lightning protectors or other equipment. Its weather-tight design protects the inside components against rain and directed water spray. The thermoplastic housing and wire entrance materials used in the enclosure are fire retardant, UV stabilized and resists degradation from environmental contaminants, chemical fertilizers and insecticide sprays.
- Page 3 Installation The DXE-UE-2P can be mounted on exterior walls covered with wood, aluminum or vinyl siding or in the mortar joints of a brick or block wall. Use the three point mounting bosses as shown in Figure 2. If you are mounting to masonry, install masonry anchors in the mortar joints and use the appropriate screws.
