Callout on print for NEMA 4 enclosure

(OP)
Does anyone know what "Quater Turn Latch C/W Sealing Cover" is or means it's on a print for a NEMA 4 enclosure. I know what the 1/4 turn latch is, but I've never seen C/W nor can I find the cover

RE: Callout on print for NEMA 4 enclosure

It looks like "Complete With" in the image context.
I would have guessed clock wise without the image.

what about posting on electrical eng forum...

RE: Callout on print for NEMA 4 enclosure

This is strange.  We specialize in NEMA enclosures, and our engineers haven't seen this before either.  According to this acronym dictionary, some suggested definitions that might fit include:

-Compatible with
-Complete with
-Clockwise

RE: Callout on print for NEMA 4 enclosure

In these days of computer power, CAD Drafters should avoid or at least limit the use of abbreviations.  Where using abbreviations or acronyms, reflect the details in a legend, preferably on that drawing or document.

RE: Callout on print for NEMA 4 enclosure

C/W shows up often on drawing

removable door c/w gasket
retaining screw c/w seal
and your quarter turn latch c/w sealing cover

I would have to say that this means "complete with"

It is a somewhat common abbreviation
