Be carefull.
These devices are usually listed by UL etc. as COMPONENTS to be used ONLY in manufactured housing.
Being a Mng. Hs. location I see this material in site built and remodeled houses and reject it.
When replaced, either the same type of device MUST be used or a junction box installed.
They are listed and label for use in manufactured homes.
Thing like this is why I do not allow service equipment to be mounted on the home unless installed at the factory.
If the rules are different then ALL the rules are different.
Getting people to mount the meter socket and disconnect adjascent to the home is a problem. "But, it is on a permanent foundation". Makes no difference ! If HUD labeled, disconnect outside and seperate from the building.
Mnfgr. homes also allow panels in closets.
