It is moulded in polycarbonate with a flame rating of UL94 V-2. The series ordering table lists this part as the off-white polycarbonate version, while the part page gives the colour as Light Gray. The gasketed lid uses two-piece "tongue & groove" construction to protect against access of oil, dust and water; the rubber gasket is included and must be field installed. The lid is secured with self-captivating M3.5 stainless steel machine screws (included) threaded into corrosion-resistant bushings, and it has a smooth recessed area (0.40 mm [0.02 in] inlay depth on the drawing) for a membrane, label or silkscreen.
