Eaton Specification Sheet - XLVS11212101
316L stainless steel construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, extending service life in chemical, offshore, and washdown environments; this feature reduces maintenance costs and downtime while maintaining panel integrity in aggressive process streams. The enclosure’s IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings provide robust ingress protection against dust, water, and harsh washdowns, translating to fewer warranty issues and safer field deployments in outdoor or industrial settings. IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications unlock cross-border acceptance and ongoing regulatory compliance, supporting global projects and simplifying procurement for multi-site deployments. A 12" x 12" x 10" enclosure size with one gland plate and vertical lugs enables straightforward installation and clean cable management, accelerating panel builds and minimizing field modification needs. The Ex-CELL design also supports reliable mounting and serviceability, reducing total cost of ownership over traditional painted steel or non-certified enclosures. In short, this enclosure blends durability, compliance, and ease of use to improve project timelines and long-term reliability in hazardous locations.

FAQs
For installation, verify a 12" x 12" x 10" footprint and use the single gland plate with vertical lugs to simplify cable entry and internal mounting. Ensure the mounting surface provides level support, and plan for ingress protection paths to maintain IP66/NEMA 4X performance. Use appropriate seals and gaskets per installation instructions to preserve hazardous-location ratings.
This enclosure is IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certified, covering hazardous locations across multiple regions. It also carries NEMA 4X and IP66 ratings for reliable protection against water, dust, and corrosion. These certifications simplify international procurement, qualify the enclosure for Class I and II locations, and support safe operation in Zone 1 environments and other classified areas.
Yes. The XLVS11212101 Ex-CELL enclosure is rated for hazardous locations including Class I, Division 2 and Class I, Division 1, as well as Zone 1, per NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards. This enables safe housing of electrical equipment in high-risk processes such as petrochemical processing, mining, and other industries with flammable atmospheres.
316L stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance, especially in aggressive chemical, saline, and washdown environments. It reduces maintenance frequency, extends service life in challenging facilities, and preserves enclosure integrity against rust and pitting. This material choice is a key factor in long-term reliability for process automation and hazardous-location installations.
The combination of IP66/NEMA 4X protection, 316L stainless steel, and certified compliance lowers lifecycle costs by minimizing corrosion-related repairs, reducing downtime, and simplifying regulatory audits. While initial cost may be higher than painted steel, extended service life and fewer field modifications translate to a favorable total cost of ownership for industrial plants and offshore or remote sites.
