Panel Preparation
A metal panel or mounting surface with a minimum thickness of 15
gauge (0.059 in/3.3 mm) if cold-rolled steel or hardened steel, or 10
gauge (0.101 in/2.6 mm) 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. Make sure all supplied
mounting clamps are used and that the panel does not flex or bow more
than 0.010 in. to ensure a proper seal.
The OIT should be mounted into a panel with a depth of at least 4 in.
(105 mm). Allow a clearance of at least 1 in. (25 mm) on each side for
mounting hardware. Consider proper clearance for cable connections
when mounting.
NOTE: Cutout dimensions for each particular OIT model are readily
available for download from the Support Center-Dimensional Drawings
section of the Maple Systems website.
The area of the panel or mounting surface where the gasket comes into
