316L stainless steel construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance in chemical processing, offshore, and other aggressive environments, extending service life and reducing replacement costs while maintaining structural integrity. This directly improves total ownership costs by lowering maintenance intervals and downtime. IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings provide robust ingress protection against water, dust, and harsh elements, enabling reliable operation in hazardous locations and reducing field service calls. The Ex-CELL design with one gland plate and vertical lugs simplifies installation and future expansion, translating to faster panel assembly and easier retrofit projects in constrained spaces. The enclosure size—20 x 20 x 8 inches—offers ample internal clearance for drives, controllers, and terminal blocks without crowding, supporting scalable engineering and easier cable management. Compliance with NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX standards mitigates regulatory risk and supports global deployment in oil, gas, and chemical industries. This combination of materials, protection, and certification addresses common objections about reliability, maintenance frequency, and compatibility with existing automation architectures.

FAQs
This enclosure uses vertical lugs for wall or panel mounting and includes one gland plate for routing cabling. Ensure mounting surfaces are flat and capable of supporting the enclosure’s weight, verify proper gland plate sealing to maintain IP66/NEMA 4X ratings, and follow standard installation practices for hazardous locations to preserve compliance and ease future maintenance.
Yes. The Ex-CELL enclosure is rated IP66 and NEMA 4X, providing robust protection against dust, water jets, and corrosion. Certifications include NEC/CEC IECEx/ATEX, enabling use in hazardous and classified locations, with area classifications such as Hazardous/Classified Locations. These protections help ensure safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance in harsh industrial settings.
Compatibility centers on its 20 x 20 x 8 inch footprint, one gland plate, and vertical lugs. The design supports standard internal mounting for controllers, drives, and terminal blocks, while gland plate availability simplifies cable entry. When upgrading, verify enclosure interior clearance and adjust grommet or seal selections to maintain IP66/NEMA 4X integrity.
