This is a dead horse, but here goes. I just recently joined the list so
wasn't here while this was going around. In reading back I didn't see
anywhere that anyone was aware of the drawback of using the flanging
method of attaching patch panels. Sure it's easier, but you are creating
a water/mud/salt trap which will undo all your work in half the time! At
the very least, flange in such a way the pocket faces DOWN. Of course if
you like doing this sort of thing.....Doing this professionally, I only
did butt welds for my customers. Much neater, lasted longer, less
filling.       Jarl de Boer
