FAQs
The enclosure is designed for wall mounting using external mounting feet, enabling secure installation on vertical surfaces. External feet accommodate standard anchors or mounting hardware, allowing quick positioning in tight spaces. When planning installation, ensure sufficient wall strength and door clearance for service access to meet code requirements and preserve ease of maintenance.
This enclosure carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications along with a NEMA 12 rating, signaling compliance with key electrical safety standards and environmental protection. For facilities, these certifications support regulatory audits, reduce project risk, and help demonstrate safety and compatibility for control-panel assemblies in industrial settings.
Yes. The NEMA 12 rating and seamless gasket seal provide protection against dust, dirt, and light moisture ingress typical of indoor industrial spaces. For washdown or heavy humidity, consider additional protective measures or a higher-rated enclosure, but this model delivers robust performance for many standard factory environments.
The 16146-12LC is designed to accommodate a small single-door setup with external feet and panel-mount provisions. For customization, plan around the 16 in height, 14 in width, and 6 in depth and assess whether additional internal accessories or adapters are needed. Always verify component clearances and mounting hardware compatibility before integration.
The screw-access design, gasketed seal, and durable carbon steel body reduce maintenance downtime by enabling rapid access and reliable protection from dust and moisture. Over time, this can lower repair costs, extend component life, and improve system uptime—factors that translate to measurable ROI in continuous-operation environments.
