Waterproof records holder for larger documents and support items.
Description
The TA585 stores inspection records, instructions, bulky soft-covered documents, tools and support items in shipping or storage containers. Its 4.80 in. (122 mm) clear opening accommodates larger contents.
Operation and sealing
Roll documents into the tube, press the spring-loaded cover and rotate it approximately 90°. A retained external gasket seals against the container; a cover O-ring seals the compartment. The holder is waterproof and pressure-tight up to 2.5 psig.
Construction and security
The aluminium-alloy housing is hard anodised, other aluminium components are conversion coated to MIL-DTL-5541, and the stainless steel cover is passivated. Cover and flange holes accept safety wire or an inspector’s seal.
Installation
Fit through a 5.52 in. (140 mm) hole on a smooth, flat wall. Curved, domed or rough surfaces may compromise sealing. Gasket, washer and mounting nut are supplied; a blind threaded insert at the tube end provides additional support. Spanner-nut torque is 200 lb·in. (22.50 N·m).
Length options
Nominal lengths are 4, 7, 12, 14 and 17 inches (102, 178, 305, 356 and 432 mm). The drawing’s dimension A differs from these nominal lengths; refer to the drawing when planning installation space.
