316L stainless steel construction delivers outstanding corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life in chemical processing, offshore, and mining settings. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and fewer unplanned outages, while maintaining enclosure integrity against washdowns and exposure to aggressive atmospheres. The 16" x 12" x 10" footprint provides generous interior space for field-wiring and control components without demanding excessive rack area, easing retrofit projects and new panel builds. One gland plate simplifies cable entry and gland management, improving installation speed and reducing commissioning time for electrical contractors. Vertical lugs enable straightforward mounting and vertical orientation, optimizing alignment with existing control rails and enclosure layouts for quick, vibration-resistant setups. The enclosure’s area classification as Hazardous/Classified Locations, combined with IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, ensures reliable performance in Class I Zone 1, Division 2, and Class II Division 2 environments, satisfying compliance from design through operation. Availability of installation instructions and the Eaton Ex-Cell catalog page and specification sheet supports fast procurement, accurate bill of materials, and reduced project risk. Overall, XLVS11612101 offers a rugged, compliant, and install-friendly solution for demanding industrial applications that demand long life and predictable maintenance.

FAQs

For installations in Class I Zone 1 or Division 2 and Class II Division 2 environments, plan for compliant mounting with vertical lugs and a single gland plate to optimize gland management. Verify enclosure orientation, ensure proper clearance for ventilation and cable entries, and reference ENK10673 Ex-Cell operating instructions during commissioning to avoid weather or ingress issues and to maintain NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX compliance.
Key specs include 316L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance, an IP66 ingress rating, and a NEMA 4X enclosure rating. The dimensions are 16 in x 12 in x 10 in with one gland plate. These factors translate to reliable protection from dust, water, and washdowns while accommodating typical control panels and field wiring in harsh environments.
Yes. The combination of 316L stainless steel, IP66, NEMA 4X, and Hazardous/Classified Location certifications (Class I Zone 1; Division 2; Class II Division 2) make XLVS11612101 appropriate for chemical processing, oil and gas facilities, and offshore installations, where strict protection and corrosion resistance are essential.
The enclosure meets NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards, with IP66 ingress protection and NEMA 4X rating. Its Hazardous Location classifications ensure compliance across multiple regulatory regimes, simplifying global deployment and reducing the need for site-specific enclosures or rework during audits.
The 316L stainless steel construction minimizes corrosion-related maintenance, extending service life in aggressive environments. Reduced maintenance cycles, fewer replacement parts, and faster installation with a gland plate and vertical lugs contribute to lower lifecycle costs and improved system uptime, delivering measurable ROI in harsh industrial settings.
