Splice to Existing Right

Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the equipment, and follow lockout/tagout procedures. Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm the power is off.
Remove the end plate and all flat gaskets from the existing MCC. Leave the P gasket on the existing front corner channel in place.
Remove the white paper backing from the new gaskets (supplied by Schneider Electric) to expose the adhesive. This adhesive temporarily holds the gasket in place while the sections are being positioned.
Apply a flat gasket to the outside of the rear vertical corner channel of the existing section. The gasket should not extend above the top of the corner channel.
Apply flat gaskets to the outside of the top and bottom side channels. The gaskets should not extend above the top of the side channels.
Applying thumb pressure, firmly press the gasket in place from top to bottom. Ensure that the gasket is flat along the entire length.
Join sections together following the appropriate steps in Joining Type 1, Type 1 Gasketed, and Type 12 Sections or Joining Type 1 Sprinkler-Resistant Sections.
