FAQs
To install the ECD15, ensure the power is de-energized and the enclosure is accessible for vent/drain insertion. Remove the existing breather/drain if applicable, then thread the ECD15 into the designated port using standard conduit hardware. Tighten to manufacturer torque specifications and verify enclosure integrity and IP rating after installation. Use appropriate gaskets and mounting hardware if required by your enclosure design. Routine inspection should confirm unobstructed vents and any condensate drainage path.
