What is IP55

IP55 is part of the Ingress Protection (IP) rating system, which indicates how well a cabinet or enclosure resists dust and water.

IP55 provides medium protection against water jets and dust ingress.

These flat-packed IP55 kiosks are designed for easy on-site assembly and long-term outdoor protection—making them ideal for electricians, contractors, and site managers who need durable, weather-resistant enclosures.

Step-by-Step Guide: Assembling Your IP55 Flat-Packed Kiosk

Side Panels Setup: Start by assembling the two side panels. The panel with the black seal should be on the right-hand side when facing the front. The pre-drilled holes (with inserts) should be at the back of the base plate.

Attach to Base: Use the screws to fix the side panels to the base. Leave the screws slightly loose for easier alignment later.

Apply Sealant Tape: Add 8x8mm sealant tape to the rear edge of the base plate. this helps ensure your IP55 enclosure maintains its weather-resistant seal.

Mount Rear Panel: Attach the rear panel to the sides and over the sealant tape. Insert screws at each corner—again, do not fully tighten.

Insert Dowels & Top Plate: Add the longer dowels to the top of the back panel. Then place and screw in the top plate securely.

Tighten All Screws: Once the structure is aligned, fully tighten all screws throughout the kiosk.

Secure Back Plate: insert and tighten screws on the back plate to complete the main body.

Door Assembly Instructions for Your IP55 Kiosk

Apply Weather Sealant: Apply sealant to three sides of the door frame—bottom, left and top. Proper application ensures your IP55 rating for water and dust protection is maintained.

Fit the Door: Push down the bottom hinges and align the door into grooves at the bottom and top corners. Rotate hinges 90⁰ to lock in place.

Install the Lock: Insert the brass fitting, slide the lock cover upwards, and turn the key clockwise to release the handle.

Close the Door: Pull the handle down to lock the door securely—completing your IP55 kiosk build.
