FAAC electric gate -- housing rusting after 2yrs

buzz11 · 2022-10-30 20:46:08

Is this normal for the housing to corrode after only 2 years? the tabs for the screws are already quite rusted I've attached a few photos, the pick stuff is grease that I applied before taking the photos.

Hi OP I would not worry, too much about that.
It could very well be a reaction to chemicals or perhaps salt that was put on the concrete around the boxes.
Faac are one of the best manufacturers and their quality is second to none.
