StrongBox Smooth Touch - Stainless Steel Backflow Enclosures - Front Entry
The Smooth Touch Backflow Enclosures are crafted to offer robust protection against vandalism and adverse weather conditions. These enclosures come in two models: SS and CR. The SS Model is made from stainless steel tubing and rod, finished with a high-performance polymer coating, and features all stainless steel hardware for durability. Its frame consists of 1-1/4 inch tubing with a drop-down door and welded grid pattern panels. The CR Model is similar in design but constructed from cold rolled steel with a polyester TGIC powder coating. Both models use a secure 3/8 inch L-bolt anchoring system for stability and have a concealed locking mechanism. These cages meet ASSE 1060 Class III standards and ensure the protection and security of backflow devices in public and private installations.
