316L stainless steel construction provides exceptional corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, extending enclosure life and reducing replacement costs. This material choice translates into lower total cost of ownership for chemical processing, offshore, and mining applications where moisture, salts, and demanding temperatures are constant challenges. IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings protect against dust, water ingress, and harsh washdown cycles, preserving internal terminations and electronics. For installations in hazardous locations, these ratings translate into fewer unplanned outages and quicker regulatory compliance checks, a critical advantage for line side equipment and safety interlocks. Roomy 63 x 48 x 16 inch enclosure size with a single gland plate supports easy cable routing and terminations while maintaining robust sealing. Vertical lugs simplify wall or structural mounting and enable flexible panel layouts, reducing installation time and potential misalignment during field assembly. NEC/CEC and IECEx/ATEX standards coverage ensures compliance across North American and international sites, supporting Class I, Zone 1, Class II, Division 2 classifications. Engineers can specify one enclosure for multiple locations, simplifying procurement catalogs and minimizing duplication in spares. One gland plate option, alongside a stainless steel body, enables straightforward gland termination and gasket integrity during routine maintenance. The Ex-CELL design supports accessory compatibility for gaskets, mounting brackets, and knockouts, improving retrofitability and serviceability in aging equipment fleets. Practical installation considerations include compatibility with Eaton Crouse-Hinds catalogs and installation instructions, making field setup predictable and safe. Customers appreciate clear documentation, including brochures and data sheets, which streamline supplier validation, training, and commissioning for safe, code-compliant installations.

FAQs
For XLVS16348161, verify area classification (Class I/Zone 1 or Class II/Division 2), plan gland routing through the single gland plate, and ensure gasket integrity and proper sealing around all knockouts. Use vertical lugs for secure mounting and follow Ex-CELL installation instructions to maintain IP66/NEMA 4X protection during field assembly.
IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings protect against dust, powerful washdowns, and corrosion, reducing ingress and electrical faults. This translates to lower maintenance frequency, fewer unscheduled downtime events, and safer operation in demanding environments such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and offshore facilities.
Yes. The enclosure is designed to work with Ex-CELL accessories and a single gland plate configuration, enabling straightforward gland termination and gasket integrity. Refer to the Ex-CELL catalog page and installation sheets for compatible mounting brackets, gaskets, and knockouts to optimize retrofitability.
The XLVS16348161 is ideal for hazardous locations requiring Class I, Zone 1 or Class II, Division 2 protection. It supports large control panels in chemical processing, upstream/downstream oil and gas installations, and mining operations where corrosion resistance, washdown resilience, and regulatory compliance are critical.
316L stainless steel delivers superior corrosion resistance, reducing repainting and enclosure replacement costs. The combination of IP66/NEMA 4X protection and durable construction lowers maintenance labor, minimizes downtime, and extends service life in harsh environments, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over the equipment’s lifecycle.
