Expert Advice & Customer Questions
What is the difference between Probe Option 16 and Option 28?
Option 16 specifies a standard 3300 XL 8mm probe. Option 28 indicates the same probe but with “multiple approvals,” often for specific geographic certifications. For most global applications, Option 16 is perfectly suitable.
Is the cable seal grip reusable?
Yes, the included cable seal grip is designed for multiple uses. The three interchangeable grommets allow you to seal different cable diameters. You can loosen the fitting and re-route cables if needed.
Can this housing be used in outdoor environments?
Absolutely. Its NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings certify protection against rain, snow, ice, and hose-directed water. It is built for reliable outdoor operation.
What are the payment and shipping terms?
We accept major credit cards and bank transfers. All items include a 12-month manufacturer warranty. Inventory ships promptly via FedEx, UPS, or DHL from our global hubs.
What is a common oversight during direct mounting?
Failing to check the depth of the NPT hole in your equipment. Ensure the hole is deep enough to fully engage the housing’s threads without bottoming out. This ensures proper sealing and mechanical strength.
How do I choose between 6.8-inch and other penetration lengths?
The 6.8-inch (068) penetration is a popular middle-ground choice. If your machine drawings specify a gap between 5 and 8 inches, this 31000-16-05-00-068 model is often the correct selection. Confirm with your system specs.
