Feraloy iron alloy construction delivers rugged durability that withstands impact and harsh chemical environments, reducing maintenance needs and extending service life in hazardous location installations. This translates to lower lifecycle costs and fewer field repairs for control panels in mining, refining, or chemical processing facilities. The D-shaped body optimizes panel space while maintaining a compact footprint, and the 1/2" trade size conduit compatibility simplifies field terminations and inventory management. A 3" cover opening provides ample wiring access, which minimizes rework and accelerates commissioning in tight enclosures. With dimensions of 5.25 in length, 3.5 in height, and 2.88 in width (weight 2.43 lb), GUAD16 fits standard cutouts and supports quick mounting. Compliance with NEC/CEC and NEMA ratings gives confidence for hazardous-area projects while installation resources (IF 1730 and datasheets) streamline setup. This enclosure also aligns with UL certification expectations and installation best practices, reducing risk and ensuring long-term reliability.
