The covers and sidewalls of all Integra enclosures are slightly convex. This was done to ensure that the covers and the base will resist warping, which is a problem that plagues non-metallic “flat” enclosures. A warped cover or base will not seal properly, and watertightness fails as a result. Another benefit of the shaping is to provide a stronger box. Therefore standard hubs and components can be installed and seated on the surfaces of the enclosure, using standard gaskets.
