Steps

  1. Determine the installation's expected minimum ambient temperature and continuous-use protection needs
  2. Select Class I (heated, maintains 40°F down to -30°F ambient) for climates with hard freezes and continuous protection requirements
  3. Select Class II (insulated, frost-protected only) only where temperatures will not fall below 33°F
  4. Avoid Class III (no freeze protection) wherever any freeze risk exists
  5. Confirm the enclosure's drainage system limits internal water rise to the ASSE 1060 maximum (8 inches) and routes discharge away from the assembly
  6. Verify heater components (for Class I) are rated for wet/damp environments and that test cocks/controls remain within 24 inches of the access point
