What is a Vapor Tight enclosure?

Vapor Tight enclosures are completely dust- and moisture-resistant gasketed enclosures.

They are constructed of a fiberglass upper body and a high-impact acrylic/DR crepe pattern diffuser, securely positioned in a permanent, poured-in-place sealing gasket. The diffuser and upper components are locked by retaining latches, ensuring a secure, tight seal.


How moisture-resistant is a Vapor Tight?

Our En-Sealâ„¢ gasketing offers unprecedented resistance to water absorption. En-Sealâ„¢ gasketing tested 100% moisture free after 144 hours of submersion as compared to conventional foam gasketing, where complete saturation is reached within one hour.

After installing a U.L. listed fluorescent strip light or channel-type lighting fixture into the gasketed enclosure, the unit can be submitted to Underwriters Laboratories for a U.L. listing for use in wet or damp locations.
