Description

Type M6 Door Closing Mechanism

The Class 9423 Type M6 door closing mechanism is designed to close and seal 0.75 in. deep doors of single or multi-door NEMA Type 12 enclosures. The Type M6 can be used on doors hinged on either the left or right hand side. Recommended door openings are from 40–60 in. Vault type handle length is 6 in.

Type M660 Locking Bar Kits

The lock bar kit for the Type M6 door closing mechanism contains two lock bars and is available from stock. The bars can be cut to fit door openings through 60 in. One lock bar kit is required for each Type M6 ordered.

Type M5

The Class 9423 Type M5 mechanical interlock kit is designed to interlock a Class 9422 handle mechanism with the Type M6 door closing mechanism. This kit prevents the opening of the master door (or single door) with the disconnect handle in the “ON” position, making it mandatory to use a screwdriver to gain entry to the enclosure at any time, regardless of the disconnect handle position.

Required Accessories for Auxiliary Doors

Type

Description

Type M2

One Type M2 kit is required for each auxiliary door. This kit is required to interlock any auxiliary door(s) with the master door.

Type M7

The first auxiliary door requires 2 Type M7 kits. Additional auxiliary doors require only 1 Type M7 kit. The 0.25 in. diameter rod used to interconnect the M7 kits is furnished by the user. If the distance between any two Type M7 kits exceeds 36 in., an additional Type M7 kit should be installed to prevent the rod from buckling.
