IEC enclosure protection requirements are defined in IEC

60529, Degree of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP

Code). This standard defines protection against hazardous

contact by personnel and by entry of solids and liquids.

Requirements for protection against corrosion and other

in-use conditions are covered by the IEC standard for the

overall product or by requirement specified by the user.

Within this context, Hexseals® and E-Seels®

would have the following Maximum IP Rating:

Toggle Boots

Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 4X

IP 66 / IP 68

5, 6, 6P, 12, 12K, 13

Pushbutton Boots

Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 4X

IP 66 / IP 68

5, 6, 6P, 12, 12K, 13

Rocker Switch Boots

Types 1, 2, 3R,

IP 55

5, 12, 12K, 13

A dual IP code rating indicates protection against both

water jets and water submersion. Rating a product for water

immersion (“7” or “8” second digit) does NOT guarantee

compliance against water jets from equipment hose down

or equal in-use conditions.

*These ratings are based on standardized tests. APM recom-

mends that the user review the actual installation for product

suitability. APM welcomes the opportunity to work with the user

to assist in finding the most cost-effective sealing solution.
