Eaton 16126 TCF enclosures use a 16 gauge carbon steel construction with a NEMA 1 rating to guard against dust and incidental contact in indoor environments. The rugged frame supports long-term service in control cabinets and utility closets without added enclosure reinforcement, reducing the need for aftermarket components. This translates to lower installed cost and fewer field modifications for light-industrial applications where compact, reliable protection is essential. Flush mounting and thru-hole mounting holes are designed for rapid, field-friendly installation on walls or behind machinery panels. This layout minimizes clearance requirements and eliminates complex mounting brackets, speeding up panel fabrication and commissioning while maintaining clean, accessible cable routing. Engineers gain predictable fit with a standard B-Line series cabinet, helping procurement teams meet project schedules and budget constraints. Hinged cover with a trimmed edge and continuous piano hinge provides durable, maintenance-friendly access for technicians. The tumbler key lock adds security while preserving quick service when needed, which is critical in lines with shift changes or shared facilities. In practice, this combination improves uptime by enabling fast, secure panel access during routine maintenance and emergency repairs. The 16 in height, 12 in width, and 6 in depth form a small single-door cabinet that accommodates control electronics, small power distribution, or sensor modules without sprawling footprint. Weighing about 14.1 lb, it offers manageable weight for on-site adjustments and relocation during facility reconfigurations, while remaining sturdy enough for wall mounting and flush installations. The ANSI 61 gray painted finish, plus UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA compliance, ensures compatibility with existing electrical infrastructure and regulatory expectations in commercial and light-industrial environments. As part of Eaton's B-Line series utility enclosures, the 16126 TCF balances durability, ease of installation, and cost efficiency for ongoing maintenance programs and fleet upgrades.
