The sealing is achieved by a factory-applied extruded silicon rubber seal around the periphery of the lid closure; the lid can be repeatedly opened and closed without degrading the seal integrity. The lid's stainless steel securing screws are fitted with 'O' rings, and all units are available in standard unpainted vibra finish or tough black powder painted finish. Plain lids are used when the enclosure is free-standing; if it is to be attached to a surface the flanged lid provides the required mounting plates, and also prevent tampering by concealing the lid screws. *** Ends: 141 words *** Notes to Editors.
