Quick Summary
The Ex-CELL enclosure is a rugged, 304 stainless steel housing that protects electrical equipment in hazardous locations and harsh industrial environments. In the field, corrosion, dust ingress, and tight spaces often drive maintenance costs and downtime, but this enclosure mitigates those risks with robust build quality. Certifications like IP66, NEMA 4X, and IECEx/ATEX (hazardous locations) ensure global compliance for Zone 1 and Division 2 installations, while NEC/CEC conformity supports safe, code-compliant panel builds. By prioritizing long-term reliability, this enclosure delivers meaningful business value through reduced service intervals and safer, easier installations, alongside flexible compatibility with standard Ex-CELL configurations and mounting options. In short, it combines rugged protection with practical, cost-conscious design for industrial automation and electrical infrastructure applications.

Material and corrosion resistance: The 304 stainless steel construction delivers superior corrosion resistance in chemical, coastal, and washdown environments, extending service life and reducing replacement costs. This translates to lower lifecycle expenses and less frequent component overhaul for critical control systems. Applicationwise, it suits harsh environments in oil, gas, and chemical processing where uptime is paramount. Enclosure dimensions and mounting: Measuring 12" x 8" x 6" with vertical lugs and zero gland plates, the Ex-CELL provides a compact footprint and flexible cabling options, enabling quick field wiring and cleaner panel layouts without compromising protection. The business impact is faster installation times and improved maintainability, particularly in space-constrained control rooms. Protection ratings and compliance: IP66 and NEMA 4X deliver enclosure integrity against water, dust, and corrosion, while hazardous-location certifications (IECEx/ATEX, NEC/CEC) support compliant deployments in Zone 1 and Division 2 environments. This reduces regulatory risk, streamlines approvals, and supports global projects. Installation flexibility: Vertical lugs and a versatile enclosure design simplify mounting on walls or frames, enabling efficient retrofits and scalable panel builds across facilities. Industry-context insight: For integrators managing multi-site deployments, conforming to these standards reduces variance in protection levels and accelerates project timelines, especially when standardizing on Ex-CELL solutions across multiple lines.

FAQs
For optimal performance, mount the enclosure using the vertical lugs and ensure a secure wall or frame attachment. With 12" x 8" x 6" dimensions and no gland plates included, plan for appropriate gland entries or adapters to accommodate your wiring while maintaining IP66 and NEMA 4X integrity in hazardous locations.
Yes. The Ex-CELL enclosure carries IECEx/ATEX and NEC/CEC certifications, and is rated for Hazardous/Classified Locations. It also provides IP66 protection and a NEMA 4X rating, enabling safe operation in Zone 1/Division 2 environments across global sites.
Best applications include control panels and electrical housings in chemical processing, oil and gas, and other harsh industrial settings. The 304 stainless steel build and hazardous-location certifications make it ideal for environments requiring high durability, corrosion resistance, and strict regulatory compliance.
Zero gland plates means you have the flexibility to configure gland entries to your exact cabling needs, simplifying on-site customization. This can reduce installation time and allow easier future updates or reconfigurations as system requirements evolve, while preserving enclosure integrity.
The combination of 304 stainless steel, IP66/NEMA 4X protection, and hazardous-location certifications reduces corrosion, water ingress, and commissioning risk. In practice, this yields fewer maintenance interventions, lower replacement rates, and enhanced safety for operators and equipment in demanding environments.
