Although I have been told by our UL rep that there are products out there which will allow one to penetrate a type 12 enclosure and attach a component such as an enclosed transformer or DB resistor to the outside of the enclosure using machine screws and through holes, I cannot find any product specifically for that purpose. Those products are required to be "components intended for such mounting... that have been evaluated for the enclosure type" (UL 508A 19.3). They (UL) told us in no uncertain terms that simply sealing the penetration with sealant or a neoprene washer for example does not meet the requirement. Just because the hole is threaded or seems to be oil tight does not cut it.
Can anyone point me to such a product (washer, sealing ring , etc.)?
