Eaton Crouse-Hinds XLVS11612083B Ex-CELL Enclosure - IP66

316L stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments such as chemical processing, offshore, and mining. The Ex-CELL enclosure is designed to endure washdowns, dust, and airborne contaminants, reducing maintenance frequency and prolonging asset life. This material choice supports reliability and regulatory compliance in hazardous locations, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle. In practice, stainless steel enclosures resist rust and pitting that can compromise enclosure integrity and safety. With exterior dimensions of 16 in by 12 in by 8 in and three gland plates, XLVS11612083B offers ample internal real estate for controllers, relays, and wiring. Vertical lugs simplify mounting when space is tight, and the gland plates support organized cabling with effective strain relief. The enclosure is compatible with standard control panels, easing retrofit projects and reducing field fabrication while preserving ingress protection and gasket integrity. Cover is fixed with hinges and bolts, providing secure access for routine maintenance and inspections without sacrificing enclosure integrity. The hinged design speeds up mid-life servicing and reduces the risk of dropped components during door operations. The option to lock the cover further enhances safety in high-hazard areas. IP66 ingress protection and NEMA 4X rating combine with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC standards to ensure reliable operation in demanding environments. The enclosure maintains protection against dust, jets of water, and corrosive environments, making it suitable for outdoor installations and wash-down workflows in hazardous zones. These protections support compliance with global safety requirements while supporting reliable data and control cabling under tough conditions. Certifications for hazardous-location use include Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 2; and Zone 1, complemented by IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC standards. This breadth of compliance simplifies international sourcing and project deployment, reducing design time and regulatory risk. Combined with the robust stainless steel construction, these certifications help buyers justify lifecycle ROI through reduced maintenance and downtime.
