Electrical Enclosure Plugs: The Ultimate FAQ Guide

What is Electrical Enclosure Plugs?

Enclosure plugs are accessories you can use to seal extra holes in the electrical enclosures.

You can also refer to them as hole sealing accessories.

Depending on the design, you can find metallic and non-metallic electrical enclosure plugs.

Besides, they can be with/without screws or lock nuts.

Why Do You Need Electrical Enclosure Plugs?

Electrical enclosures come with a number of holes or openings for cables, pushbuttons, switches, etc.

At times, you may no longer need these holes.

So, instead of welding or investing in a new electrical enclosure, using hole plugs is a cost-effective solution.

Simply know the size of the unwanted hole on the enclosure, then choose an electrical enclosure plug which will:

• Completely seal the enclosure hole or opening
• Prevent dirt, water or oil from entering the enclosure
• Enable you to use enclosure in certain environments without necessarily investing in a new design
• Allow for future use of the openings or holes by simply removing the enclosure hole plug

Are Electrical Enclosure Plugs Watertight?

Once you choose the right material and the size of the electrical enclosure hole plug, it should be watertight.

In fact, the electrical enclosure hole plug should completely seal the hole, blocking dirt, dust, water or any other contaminant.

Why is Anti-rotation Design Feature Important in Enclosure Hole Plugs?

The anti-rotation feature ensures the electrical enclosure hole plug neither rotates nor moves once inserted into the opening.

Even when subjected to a high degree of vibration, the enclosure hole plug should remain intact.

With the anti-rotation feature, it firmly grips the electrical enclosure hole, and may not require fastening tools and accessories.

Basically, it acts as a safety feature.

Is Stainless Steel Push in Plugs Suitable for Other Enclosure Materials?

Not recommended.

Remember, whenever you are choosing a hole plug, ensure it is compatible with the electrical enclosure material.

It is to ensure consistent thermal expansion between the two materials, hence tightly sealing the hole.

However, non-metallic electrical enclosure hole seals and plugs tend to be universal.

You can use them in nearly all types of enclosure materials.

What is the Best Material for Electrical Enclosure Plugs?

Hole plugs and seals are made from a range of materials depending on the type of electrical enclosure.

Although there are metallic enclosure plugs made from stainless steel or galvanized steel, non-metallic material (plastic or thermoplastic elastomer) is popular.

In fact, most enclosure hole plugs are made from polycarbonate material.

Besides, they also have a neoprene/EPDM gasket.

Polycarbonate electrical enclosure plug

Are Electrical Enclosure Plugs UL Rated?

Yes.

Remember, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) rating is crucial for electrical enclosure plugs.

Electrical enclosures are prone to overheating, and in worst cases, fire outbreaks.

High-quality electrical enclosure plugs must conform to standard fire rating and safety specifications.

For instance, polycarbonate, a popular material used for electrical enclosure plugs is known for excellent fire-resistant properties.

How Do You Install Electrical Enclosure Plugs?

The installation process will depend on the design of the electrical enclosure plug.

However, the standard procedure involves:

i. Position the enclosure plug just above the hole

ii. Apply a reasonable amount of force to push it into the enclosure hole

iii. Depending on the design, you can twist to lock it in position

iv. Alternatively, you can screw the enclosure plug and secure it with nuts

Do Electrical Enclosure Plugs have Gaskets?

Yes.

For watertight and airtight sealing, most electrical enclosure plugs have neoprene/EPDM gaskets.

However, the enclosure hole plugs must not compromise the NEMA rating standards.

Of course, the same applies to IP-rated enclosures.

Do Electrical Enclosure Hole Seals have Threads and Nuts?

Yes, some have threads and nuts are an additional locking mechanisms.

They are common in electrical enclosure hole seals in areas prone to vibrations like factory and mining setups.

Of course, others may have fins and self-centering capability that facilitate the locking process.

Should You Use Metallic or Non-metallic Enclosure Hole Plug for Corrosive Environments?

Both metallic and non-metallic enclosure hole plugs are suitable for corrosive environments.

However, you should consider the following materials – fiberglass reinforced with polymer, polycarbonate, stainless steel and aluminum.

Moreover, the enclosure hole plugs should have gasket and locking mechanism (option for nut or screwing mechanism).

Also, you must consider the thickness of the enclosure hole.

Why Should You Install Washdown Hole Plug for Electrical Enclosure?

For IP 66 enclosures, NEMA 4x enclosures, or any other enclosure that must protect electrical components from washdown, you must install these types of hole plugs.

Washdownhole plugs will protect the enclosure from water and they have special features such as:

• Gaskets
• Anti-rotation design
• Self-centering option
• A watertight and airtight locking mechanism
• Locknuts or screwing mechanism
