of the Tank Wall Plate
The Neoptix TWP tank wall plate is specifically designed for installation onto your power transformer tank wall. It has to be mated with our OFT optical feedthroughs.
As a standard item, the TWP is made out of cold finished 1018 steel (ASTM A108). If needed, it can also be manufactured using any other material, including stainless steel 316.
The tank wall plate accommodates from 1 to 16 optical feedthroughs and is supplied with plugs to close unused holes. It comes standard with 1/4 NPT ANSI threads. ISO threads are also available.
The TWP can be welded directly on the tank wall. It can be delivered with two tapered 10-24 UNC holes for clamping the TWP during welding process. The tank wall plate is also available upon request with eight unthreaded holes for direct bolting, with gasket or O'Ring, onto the tank wall.
The Neoptix tank wall plate can also be supplied with the necessary threaded holes for a direct mounting of the Neoptix JBox protective enclosure. This unique junction box let you saved precious time and ressources to achieve a complete fiber optic installation.
Each NPT hole is numbered on both sides of the plate using a deep engraving technique allowing perfect reading of numbers even after being painted. Moreover, both interior and exterior sides are also engraved.
Neoptix has a bank of CAD drawings of many different models of Tank Wall Plates that can fulfill your needs; Contact Factory for more details.
