The iM2700-M4-BEZEL Base Bezel Kit (Metric) is a precision-engineered aluminium frame system designed to integrate electronic interface panels permanently and professionally into the base shell of a Peli™ Storm iM2700, iM2720, or iM2750 case. Whether you are building a deployable communications station, a ruggedised field computer, or a mobile test and measurement system, this kit provides the structural and sealing foundation to turn a standard Storm case into a fully functional hardened enclosure.

What This Kit Does

The base bezel creates a rigid, sealed aperture in the bottom half of the case. A custom-machined aluminium frame is fixed around the interior perimeter of the base using the supplied corner pieces, rails, and rivets. The frame exposes the full 22 × 17 in (55.9 × 43.2 cm) base panel area, which can be populated with user-supplied sub-panels, connectors, displays, keyboards, or any custom interface hardware. M4 metric-tapped holes are spaced around the frame to allow precise, tool-ready attachment of equipment — no additional drilling required.

Watertight Integrity — Even with the Lid Open

A key engineering challenge in panel-mounting cases is maintaining environmental protection once a cutout is made in the shell. The iM2700-M4-BEZEL addresses this through a dual-seal system:

• Silicone perimeter gasket – a continuous silicone seal runs around the entire frame perimeter, compressing against the installed panel to block dust, water, and humidity from the front face
• Polymer O-ring – seals the frame-to-shell interface at the rear, maintaining the Storm case's structural watertight integrity

The result: the case remains environmentally protected even with the lid open — critical for systems that must operate in rain, dusty field conditions, or near washdown stations.

Kit Contents

• Anodised aluminium frame rails
• Moulded corner pieces
• Rivets for frame assembly
• Sealing washers
• Polymer O-ring
• Silicone perimeter gasket

Key Features

• Aluminium Frame System – robust and corrosion-resistant; provides a permanent structural border for the panel opening in the case base
• M4 Tapped Holes (Metric) – standard metric threading for fast, reliable attachment of electronics, connector modules, and rack hardware
• Watertight with Lid Open – dual gasket system maintains environmental protection after panel installation
• Complete Hardware Kit – all assembly hardware included; no additional parts required
• Precise Fit – engineered specifically for iM2700 / iM2720 / iM2750 base shell; panel area 22 × 17 in / 55.9 × 43.2 cm
• Professional Finish – moulded corners and anodised rails deliver a clean, factory-quality result

Compatible Storm Cases

This base bezel kit is designed for the following Peli Storm cases:

• Peli Storm iM2700 – standard depth variant
• Peli Storm iM2720 – wheeled, standard depth
• Peli Storm iM2750 – extended depth variant

For panel mounting in the lid of the same cases, the matching iM2700 Lid Bezel Kit (iM27XX-M4-BEZEL-L) uses the same M4 metric system and sealing design.

Typical Applications

• Deployable field communications with front-panel connectors and indicator arrays
• Mobile test and measurement equipment with integrated displays or control panels
• Military and defence portable electronics enclosures
• Broadcast and AV equipment for outdoor or harsh environments
• Emergency response and command post systems
• Industrial data acquisition with rugged I/O panels

Panel material and user-supplied sub-panels are not included. For lid-side panel mounting on iM2700/iM2720/iM2750, see the iM27XX-M4-BEZEL-L kit.
