Abstract
An enclosure for housing electrical apparatus associated with a buried cable assembly has a four-part construction in which a lower front cover is connected to a lower rear housing section, an upper rear housing section is secured to the lower rear housing section, and an upper front cover is attached to the upper rear housing section. A terminal mounting plate is pivotally attached to the upper housing section, and is movable between open and closed positions. When closed, the interior of the enclosure between the upper housing section and the upper cover is divided into front and rear compartments. The terminal mounting plate is normally locked in its closed position, with a special tool being required to unlock it to gain entry to cables, splices and terminals mounted behind the plate and to achieve access to a pair of bolts which secure the upper rear housing section to the lower rear housing section.
