Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds ECP181806 enclosure is a rugged explosion‑proof housing designed for hazardous locations worldwide. Facility engineers and maintenance teams struggle with bulky, noncompliant enclosures that slow commissioning, complicate wiring, and elevate safety risk. This model supports NEC/CEC compliance and delivers multi‑class protection with NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7 and 9, addressing both general and hazardous area needs. In addition to robust metalwork, the copper-free aluminum body reduces maintenance requirements and resist corrosion, while tap-in mounting feet enable faster, installer-friendly assembly. The enclosure’s 18" x 18" x 6" footprint, weight of 153 lb, and inclusion of practical installation features translate to tangible business value for OEMs and retrofit projects.

FAQs
The ECP181806 features integrated tap-in mounting feet that enable fast, tool-light installation with precise alignment. This reduces on-site labor, minimizes mounting errors, and speeds up panel assembly. Ideal for both OEM production lines and retrofit projects where quick, secure mounting is critical.
The enclosure uses copper-free aluminum for superior corrosion resistance and provides NEMA ratings of 3, 3R, 4, 7, and 9. It supports NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for hazardous locations (Class I and Class II, divisions 1 and 2). This combination ensures durable protection against dust, water, and ignition sources.
Yes. ECP181806 is designed for Class I, Division 1 (and 2) environments and supports Class II and III as needed. Its explosion-proof construction and multi‑NEMA rating make it appropriate for chemical processing, refineries, and related facilities where stringent safety and reliability are required.
The enclosure carries NEC/CEC compliance and multiple NEMA ratings (3, 3R, 4, 7, 9). It has explosion‑proof certifications documented by UL and Intertek, with IECEx conformity as applicable. Manufacturer’s installation sheets, CAD drawings, and datasheets aid qualification tests and regulatory inspections.
By offering corrosion resistance, robust mounting, and reduced maintenance cycles in harsh environments, the ECP181806 lowers lifecycle costs. Features such as tap-in feet and readily available CAD assets shorten design and commissioning times, improving uptime and reducing total cost of ownership for hazardous-location panel builds.
