    摘要: An electrical fixture is disclosed that has an electrical enclosure, a knockout plug coupled to the electrical enclosure with an interference fit, and a seal coupled to a circumference of the knockout plug between the knockout plug and electrical enclosure so that the seal provides an environmental barrier between an interior and exterior of the electrical enclosure.A method is also disclosed for providing an environmental barrier for a tapered-threaded knockout of an electrical enclosure including placing a seal on a knockout plug and pressing the knockout plug into the tapered-threaded knockout to establish an interference fit between the knockout plug and tapered-threaded knockout. The knockout plug is detachably coupled to the tapered-threaded knockout, with the seal providing an environmental barrier between interior and exterior portions of the electrical enclosure.

    摘要: A sealed light fixture having a valve mounted in the housing to vent pressure that builds-up inside the housing during operation of the light and to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the housing. The light fixture automatically creates a vacuum inside the housing to prevent condensation from causing corrosion and other problems for the light fixture. The pressure releasing mechanism permits easy installation of the housing cap and avoids damage to the fixture as a result of temperature caused pressure increases. The valve has a pressure equalizing mechanism that can be manually actuated to eliminate the vacuum and equalize the pressure inside the housing with the atmosphere so the housing can be disassembled and the lamp replaced when necessary.
