Eaton Specification Sheet - XLVS14040121
316L stainless steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance in chemical, offshore, and process environments, delivering long-term durability and reduced maintenance costs. This translates to lower lifecycle expenses for automation panels and control cabinets in demanding facilities, while maintaining pristine exterior integrity and internal cleanliness. The enclosure achieves IP66 and NEMA 4X protection, guarding against dust, water ingress, and heavy wash-downs, which minimizes unplanned outages and extends equipment uptime in production lines and utility plants. Certifications for hazardous locations—IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC—along with specific classifications (Class II, Division 2; Class I, Division 2; Class I, Zone 1) ensure global compliance for multi-region deployments, simplifying procurement and reducing regulatory risk. The 40" x 40" x 12" enclosure size, 1 gland plate, and vertical lugs support straightforward wiring layouts and field installability, enabling faster commissioning and easier maintenance in live environments. The vertical lug design and gland plate arrangement improve cable management, enabling neater terminations and safer clearance around energized components. Industry professionals appreciate the consistency of fit and finish provided by stainless steel Ex-CELL enclosures, which translates to lower installation rework and fewer warranty-repair events. This combination of mechanical integrity, seal performance, and standardized mounting options offers a practical path to higher plant reliability, reduced downtime, and stronger regulatory alignment for hazardous-location applications.

FAQs
For hazardous-location installations, ensure the enclosure is mounted on a stable, vibration-free surface with proper clearance for venting and wiring. Use a compatible gland plate arrangement (the unit ships with one gland plate) and maintain proper cable segregation to avoid heat buildup. Verify IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC compliance for your specific zone, and ensure seals are intact after installation to preserve IP66 and 4X protection.
The Ex-CELL enclosure employs a robust 316L stainless steel construction with gasketed doors and seals designed to resist dust ingress and powerful wash-downs. IP66 indicates complete protection against dust and powerful water jets, while NEMA 4X adds corrosion resistance and weather protection, making it suitable for outdoor or harsh indoor environments and ensuring longevity in exposed industrial settings.
Yes. The Ex-CELL enclosure is certified for hazardous locations under IECEx/ATEX standards and NEC/CEC guidelines, covering classifications such as Class II, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 1. This broad compliance supports multinational projects, simplifies procurement, and helps ensure that control panels meet critical safety requirements across regions.
The XLVS14040121 provides a generous 40" x 40" x 12" enclosure volume with a single gland plate and vertical lugs, enabling straightforward wiring and efficient cable management. The size supports mid-to-large control assemblies while preserving serviceability, and the vertical lugs simplify mounting configurations, top/bottom cabling, and field modifications without compromising seal integrity.
Choosing Ex-CELL stainless steel enclosures delivers long-term lifecycle value through superior corrosion resistance, reduced maintenance, and lower repaint/replacement needs in aggressive environments. The combination of IP66/NEMA 4X protection and hazardous-location certifications minimizes downtime, improves uptime metrics, and lowers total cost of ownership for critical automation systems in petrochemical, water treatment, and mining applications.
