We have five PF16 installed outdoors at a home. It has been only 2
weeks and I'm seeing rust forming around some cover screws (both the
top cover and front cover). The brackets are also showing some rust
spots, and under the rims of the top cover I'm seeing rust spots that
look like they are from small metal shavings. We also found minor rust
around a prepunched knockout immediately after removing the protective
plastic cap.
This all happened after they had been mounted outdoors for two weeks,
but no conduit had been installed yet and the top covers hadn't even
been opened once.
Is anyone else seeing these issues? I'm pretty concerned that my
customer won't accept this early defect, and I have lots of outdoor
installations planned for other customers.
P.S. This is not a coastal location (although all of Florida is kind of
coastal). Regardless, it's IP65 and should withstand a typical outdoor
installation.
