FAQs
For safe, compliant deployment, plan for the 16" x 20" x 12" Ex-CELL enclosure's vertical lug mounting and one gland plate, which simplifies cable entry. Ensure enclosure orientation allows for proper drainage and access to internal components. Verify a compatible gland kit and sealants per IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC requirements. Regular inspection schedules will preserve IP66 and 4X performance in harsh environments.
XLVS11620121 carries IECEx/ATEX certification alongside NEC/CEC, confirming compliance across international hazardous-location standards. The IP66/NEMA 4X ratings ensure robust protection against dust and water ingress, enabling safe operation in Zone 1/2 and other hazardous classifications. This combination reduces regulatory risk and simplifies procurement for global projects.
Yes. The Ex-CELL design supports standard components and mating hardware used with Crouse-Hinds stainless enclosures. With 316L stainless steel construction, one gland plate, and vertical lugs, you can source compatible hinges, seals, and gland kits from Eaton’s catalog to maintain sealing integrity and serviceability without custom modifications.
The 316L stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance, reducing repainting and structural degradation in aggressive environments. Routine maintenance focuses on seal integrity, gland plate access, and lid alignment. The enclosure’s rugged build minimizes unplanned downtime, extends product life in offshore or chemical processing settings, and lowers total cost of ownership over the asset lifecycle.
By combining IP66/NEMA 4X protection with IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications, this enclosure minimizes compliance hurdles and maintenance costs while reducing downtime from contamination or corrosion. Its stainless-steel construction and compact 16x20x12 footprint speed up installation and retrofits, delivering a faster path to regulatory approval and a favorable return on investment in hazardous-area projects.
