1. An enclosure comprising: a top enclosure portion comprising a central portion, a top flange, and a first top engagement feature, wherein the first top engagement feature is a planar extension of the central portion, wherein the central portion has a thickness defined between a top surface and a bottom surface of the central portion; a bottom enclosure portion mechanically coupled to the top enclosure portion, wherein the bottom enclosure portion comprises a bottom flange that mechanically couples to the top flange and a first bottom engagement feature that mechanically couples to the first top engagement feature; and a first fastening device mechanically coupled to the first top engagement feature and the first bottom engagement feature, wherein the first fastening device has a length disposed substantially perpendicular to the thickness of the central portion of the top enclosure portion, wherein the first fastening device rotates about the length between an engaged position and a disengaged position with respect to the first top engagement feature and the first bottom engagement feature, wherein the first fastening device, in the engaged position, creates and maintains a flame path between the top flange and the bottom flange, wherein the first fastening device, in the disengaged position, fails to maintain the flame path between the top flange and the bottom flange, wherein the flame path provides an uninterrupted path, from within a cavity formed by the top enclosure portion and the bottom enclosure portion toward an ambient environment outside of the cavity, along which one or more gases from within the cavity cool as the one or more gases travel from within the cavity toward the ambient environment outside of the cavity, and wherein the top enclosure portion and the bottom enclosure portion, when coupled to each other by the first fastening device, contain an explosion that originates within the cavity.
