Abstract
A protective enclosure for electrical components includes a body having front and end openings, the body further including front, rear, and two side panels. A door selectively closes the front opening. An end cap closes the end opening. A ledge surrounds the end opening, the ledge lying perpendicular to the front, rear, and side panels, and a plurality of apertures are provided along the ledge. A gasket provides a seal between the end cap and ledge. A plurality of fasteners embedded into the end cap engage with a plurality of clips assembled onto the ledge at the plurality of apertures so as to form a permanent, one-time-use closure that compresses the gasket and maintains compression thereof in response to nothing more than movement of the end cap toward the ledge in a single installation direction perpendicular to the ledge.
