How to Choose Housings

 

“There is no right or wrong” – The goal is to match the hood entry to the installation requirement as closely as possible.

Choose your housing by answering these two questions:
1. Where are you mounting the connector?
2. Where is the cable coming from?

This will allow you to make a reasonable selection.
TOP VS. SIDE ENTRY HOODS

SINGLE VS. DOUBLE BOLT HOODS

Although either bolt location can be used, the key is to use a bolt location that allows the connectors to be mounted as close together as possible while providing the maximum access possible to the locking levers on the base.

For connectors mounted horizontally side-by-side, the double bolt location is preferred.

For connectors mounted vertically top-to-bottom, the single bolt location is preferred.
