Special features
Feraloy iron alloy cover
Feature: Flexible hub configurations including four back hubs, two top hubs, two bottom hubs, and one side hub. Business Impact: This versatility minimizes the need for elbows, adapters, and additional fittings, cutting install time, reducing assembly errors, and lowering commissioning costs. Application: Chemical processing, refining, and mining facilities where conduit routing is frequently redesigned during initial setup or expansion projects. Feature: Feraloy iron alloy enclosure and Feraloy cover deliver rugged mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Business Impact: Enhanced enclosure integrity reduces maintenance intervals, lowers replacement costs, and improves safety margins in explosive atmospheres. Application: Offshore platforms, petrochemical plants, and heavy manufacturing sites where enclosure performance directly affects uptime and operator safety. Feature: Compact footprint with dimensions 4.88 in length, 4.88 in height, 2.97 in width, and a 5 lb weight. Business Impact: Smaller footprint and lighter weight simplify mounting, permit denser panel layouts, and enable faster field terminations, boosting crew productivity. Application: Control cabinets, switchgear rooms, and field enclosures where space efficiency and rapid deployment matter. Feature: NEC/CEC compliance with hazardous-location ratings (Class I, Division 1 & 2; Class II, Division 2; Class III) and UL certification access. Business Impact: Provides regulatory confidence for procurement and reduces risk during inspections, while ensuring safe operation under worst-case fault conditions. Application: Projects in oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and mining where compliance drives project milestones. Feature: Hub compatibility for standard 1 in conduit entries and robust installation design. Business Impact: Improves procurement predictability, simplifies spare parts, and minimizes field adjustments during installation, commissioning, and maintenance. Application: New builds and retrofit upgrades in automation and electrical infrastructure across manufacturing, water treatment, and energy facilities.
