Feraloy iron alloy construction delivers rugged protection against impact, corrosion, and chemical exposure, reducing field failures and extending service life in harsh environments. This translates to lower replacement costs and less downtime for critical instrument panels in oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining facilities. Bottom conduit opening and a 3/4" trade size simplify wiring routes and sealing, enabling faster installations and easier maintenance during turnarounds. Compliance with NEC/CEC/IEC, plus UL certification and NEMA ratings 3, 7, 9, 12, minimizes regulatory risk and accelerates procurement for hazardous-location projects. Compatibility with the GUB02 basic housing supports modularity, easy upgrades, and standardized maintenance practices across multiple installations. The 9 in length, 8.75 in height, and 6 in width provide a compact yet robust footprint suitable for instrument enclosures, while the 31.04 lb weight offers stability during mounting and handling in rugged sites. Overall, this empty housing reduces total cost of ownership by streamlining installation, improving reliability, and ensuring long-term compliance.
