Practical Protection for Unused Cable Entry Openings
Unused cable entry openings can compromise the appearance and protection of an electrical enclosure if left unclosed. The Partex BPM16 provides a convenient solution for closing compatible M16 threaded entries during initial installation, control panel modifications or electrical maintenance.
The nylon construction makes the plug suitable for applications where a lightweight, non-metallic closure is preferred. To maintain an enclosure's required ingress protection rating, installers should verify the plug's applicable sealing performance and use any specified sealing washer or accessory. The overall protection level depends on the complete enclosure assembly and correct installation.
