DK12 enclosure drip shield arrangement: mounting, interface and service-space coordination.

## In plain English

### What it does

DK12 is the drawing identifier for enclosure drip shield in AutomationDirect's Enclosure Accessories collection. A drip shield forms part of the selected enclosure installation arrangement. Its mounting and overhang must be coordinated with the enclosure and the required service access.

### A simple example

For example, in a microgrid installation with an enclosure installation with a separately selected top shield, use the DK12 reference to coordinate shield fixing, overhang and access to adjacent equipment. Show the neighbouring equipment and the connection route so the installer can understand the intended arrangement.

### What the drawings help you do

Use the reviewed native drawing identified as Enclosures and Wiring/Enclosure Accessories/DK12.dwg, Enclosures and Wiring/Enclosure Accessories/SSDK12.dwg for the exact physical details. Locate the named file in its original manufacturer archive. Manufacturer drawing previews are shown only when an exact approved source is available. Any illustrative 3D view is a separate concept and is not to scale; use the selected manufacturer documents for dimensions, ratings and installation details.

### Before using this reference

- Match DK12, the native drawing identity and the project equipment schedule.
- Identify the compatible enclosure and shield installation orientation.
- Coordinate shield fixing, overhang and access to adjacent equipment with neighbouring equipment.
- Confirm the current manufacturer installation instructions, selected revision and any required mounting or clearance details.

### Terms

- Drawing identity: The named manufacturer drawing used to identify the intended physical configuration.
- Interface: The place where this part mounts, connects or meets another selected part.
- Service space: The area needed to reach, disconnect or remove the selected equipment as instructed.
