Drain spigot for equipment enclosure
A drain spigot 40 for fitting to an exterior mounting surface of an equipment enclosure (14 figure 6), such as an enclosure for electronic or communications equipment, for conveying a liquid from the interior to the exterior of the enclosure. The spigot comprises: an inlet 422 for receiving the liquid; an outlet 440 for passing the liquid to the exterior; and an interconnecting channel 460 for passing the liquid between the inlet and the outlet. The outlet comprises an interior space and an exterior surface; in which the exterior surface comprises a plurality of apertures; in which each one of the plurality of apertures 444 extends through a wall of the spigot from the exterior surface to the interior space for passing the liquid from the inside of the spigot to the outside of the spigot. The exterior surface is visible, in use, to pedestrians traversing the environment in which the equipment enclosure is situated; in which the size of the apertures is selected so that the presence of the apertures is not discernible by the pedestrians traversing the environment. As such, vandalism of the enclosure and insertion of foreign objects is avoided, but drainage of rainwater via a bilge pump is unimpeded.
