Panel Prep a ra tion

A metal panel or mounting surface with a minimum thickness of 15 gauge (0.059 inch/3.3mm) if cold-rolled steel or
hardened steel, or 10 gauge (0.101 inch/2.6mm) if aluminum alloy (6061-T6 preferred) is required. Thinner panels
or surfaces may bow between the mounting clamps and not form a seal with the gasket.
The area of the panel or mounting surface where the gasket comes into contact must be flat and free of scratches,
pits, and other features that prevent the gasket from sealing properly. If the panel or mounting surface is not
uniform, thick, flat, stiff, or smooth enough, then a sealant such as silicone may be required.
Clean and deburr the panel cutout before the OIT is installed.

WARNING: The OIT requires a stiff, flat, smooth mounting surface free of blemishes
to seal properly to NEMA 4.
