Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems HBL9425 Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the installation instructions for the HUBBELL Liftcover PD2054. This document details how to install the device on various surfaces, including using caulking for rough surfaces and giving torque specifications for proper seating of the liftcover. I'm ready to answer any questions you may have about the installation process.
  • What should I do before installing the plate?
    How far should the outlet protrude above the liftcover?
    What should be done if installing on rough surfaces with indentations more than 1/16" deep?
    What torque should the screws be tightened to?

TO BE INSTALLED AND USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLI-
CABLE ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS.
Suitable for use in wet and damp locations when installed as follows:
TURN OFF POWER AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE INSTALLING PLATE.
The outlet must protrude a minimum of 1/64" above the face of the liftcover.
Installation on Smooth Surfaces:
The liftcover with the gasket and the hardware
supplied may be installed without the use of caulking
compound, on rigid, smooth, flat surfaces.
Installation on Rough Surfaces:
On rough surfaces with indentations or obstructions
of less than 3/16", a resilient type of permanent caulking
compound, such as: General Electric #RTV-1473,
#RTV-103, Dow Corning #RTV-732, or equivalent must
be applied between the rough surface (wall) and the
gasket, as shown to help seal against water.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
Indentations more than 1/16" deep should be precaulked
and allowed to cure for at least 8 hours before installing
the liftcover.
With indentations less than 1/16" deep, a thin bead of
caulking must be applied before installing the liftcover.
Install the spacer between gasket and lift cover. Torque the
screws sequentially to 12 IN-LBS to seat liftcover.
