Quick Summary
The Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECP enclosure protects electrical equipment in hazardous locations. Manufacturers and integrators struggle to source rugged, code‑compliant housings that resist corrosive atmospheres while staying accessible for maintenance. This model carries NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9, with explicit Class I, II and III hazardous location approvals for global deployments. Copper‑free aluminum reduces weight without sacrificing strength, and tap‑in mounting feet speed field installation, lowering labor costs and downtime. Ideal for oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment, it aligns with industrial automation frameworks and supports reliable enclosure performance across demanding environments.

FAQs
Mounting the ECP161608 with tap-in feet is straightforward but requires proper handling due to its 125 lb weight. Ensure a solid mounting surface, use compatible gasket seals to preserve the enclosure's NEMA ratings, and follow NEC/CEC guidelines for hazardous locations. The feet speed alignment and reduce fastener count, cutting installation time.
The ECP161608 carries NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA ratings including 3, 3R, 4, 7, and 9. It is designed for Hazardous/Classified Locations with Class I, Division 1 and 2, Class II, Division 1 and 2, and Class III approvals, providing reliable protection in oil, gas, chemical, and mining environments.
Yes. The enclosure is designed for Class I Division 1 and 2, Class II Division 1 and 2, and Class III hazardous locations per NEC/CEC, providing explosion-protected performance. Use appropriate gaskets and sealing per installation instructions. The 16x16x8 enclosure with copper-free aluminum ensures corrosion resistance in corrosive atmospheres.
External size is 16 by 16 by 8 inches with a 9-9/16 inch depth. The enclosure is made from copper-free aluminum, offering a strong, lightweight solution with good corrosion resistance. The square cover and tap-in feet support quick, reliable installation in demanding environments.
With tap-in mounting feet and a robust aluminum construction, installation is faster and maintenance is less frequent due to corrosion resistance. The enclosure's rugged design meets NEC/CEC and NEMA standards, reducing compliance risk and downtime, while long service life lowers lifecycle costs in harsh facilities such as oil, gas, and chemical plants.
