Copper-free aluminum construction delivers rugged protection with reduced weight, boosting handling efficiency and installation safety in busy facilities. This material choice also lowers long-term corrosion-related maintenance costs in chemical, mining, and power environments. IP66, combined with NEMA ratings 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9 and NEC/CEC compliance, minimizes ingress risk and accelerates inspections, supporting faster permits and safer operation in oil, gas, and refinery settings. Left-side hinges and Style C design simplify service, inspection, and wiring termination, cutting maintenance time and improving field productivity. The 12" x 12" x 6" enclosure size provides ample internal volume for connectors and glands, reducing the need for multiple boxes and facilitating clean, compliant layouts. Copper-free aluminum also contributes to lower total cost of ownership through corrosion resistance and lighter handling, helping field crews assemble and upgrade enclosures more efficiently. In demanding environments where downtime is costly, this enclosure offers predictable performance and long service life with minimal risk.

FAQs
When installing the EJB121206 S598, plan for a left-side hinged cover to simplify access during maintenance. Mounting should follow the enclosure’s 12x12x6 footprint and use appropriate hardware compatible with copper-free aluminum. Ensure wiring terminations remain within the NEMA 3/3R/4/7/9 ratings and that the site complies with NEC/CEC and local hazardous-location requirements. The IP66 rating helps specify sealing needs for dust and water ingress, reducing rework after commissioning.
The enclosure carries Area classification for Hazardous/Classified Locations and NEC/CEC standards, with IP66 ingress protection and a NEMA rating lineup of 3, 3R, 4, 7, 9. These certifications indicate suitability for Class I/II/III environments, Zone 1/2 areas, and harsh industrial conditions, facilitating regulatory approvals, safety compliance, and installation in mining, oil & gas, and chemical processing facilities.
Yes. The enclosure is designed for hazardous locations and supports multiple hazardous-area ratings (Class I, Division 1/Zone 1, etc.), IP66 protection, and rugged copper-free aluminum construction. Its Style C design and left-hinged lid simplify field wiring and inspections, making it a practical choice for mining, oil/gas, and chemical processing where durability, safety, and regulatory compliance are critical.
Key standards to verify include NEC/CEC compliance for hazardous locations, IP66 for water and dust ingress protection, and the relevant NEMA ratings (3, 3R, 4, 7, 9). Also confirm the area classifications for Class I/II/III locations and Zone 1/2 applicability. In addition, Canadian and other regional certifications may be referenced in the catalog and UL reports.
Maintenance benefits arise from copper-free aluminum’s corrosion resistance and high ingress protection, which reduce repainting and corrosion-related servicing. The left-hinged Style C design speeds inspections and terminations, lowering labor costs. ROI improves through longer service life, fewer replacements, and easier upgrade paths in hazardous environments, while meeting stringent safety and compliance requirements.
