More about the WM5 GRP cabinet:
The WM5 is a wall-mounting GRP cabinet measuring 400mm wide, 200mm deep and 500mm high. It is moulded in a single piece from glass-reinforced polyester, finished in grey RAL 7035 as standard, and sealed to IP66 with an IK10 impact rating — built to live outdoors and take a knock.
What is the WM5 used for?
At 400x200x500mm it suits compact distribution boards, motor starters and isolators, PLC and control assemblies, RCD and socket assemblies, water booster and metering controls, gas telemetry, street-lighting feeders and EV charge-point control gear. Because GRP is naturally non-conductive it removes any touch-voltage risk, which makes the WM5 a sound choice on footways, forecourts and other public or wet locations as well as inside plant rooms.
How does it stand up outdoors?
It is self-extinguishing to EN 60695-2-1/10 and rated thermal class E150°C, GRP doesn’t rust, rot or corrode, and it shrugs off UV, rain, frost and salt air with very little maintenance — which is why GRP cabinets are a standard pick for coastal, water, rail and process-plant sites where a steel box would be rusting within a season. The IK10 shell resists impact and the material carries no scrap value, so it’s of no interest to metal thieves.
How does the WM5 lock and open?
Its door is hung on stainless-steel hinges and seals on a moulded gasket; a clear polycarbonate window door is available where the contents need to be read without opening up. It is secured with double-bit (3 mm) cam locks operated by a standard wing key as standard, with a stainless padlock hasp available where a site needs keyed-alike or padlocked access.
How is it mounted and fitted out?
The WM5 fixes to a wall on four external brackets, clear of the sealed area so the enclosure stays weather-tight, and a pole-mount kit is available where there’s no wall to use. An internal mounting plate (galvanised steel, polyester or insulating grade) drops onto the fixing studs and is specified separately so you get the right backplate for the gear going in.
What colours and sizes does it come in?
Grey RAL 7035 as standard, with green (BS 14-C-39) or any British Standard or RAL colour on request. The WM5 is 400x200x500mm; browse the full wall-mounted range for other sizes, or our floor-standing enclosures for larger plant.
