FAQs
How to install the 16146-4XFCHQRCW within an existing control cabinet depends on wall-mount clearances and door swing. Confirm external mounting feet clearance, ensure gasket seating is intact, and use the padlock provisions to secure the enclosure after mounting. The hinged cover facilitates tool-free access during maintenance and reduces downtime, while maintaining NEMA 4X integrity in rugged environments.
This enclosure carries UL 50, NEMA 4X, and CSA C22.2 certifications, signaling compliance with safety, weatherproofing, and electrical code requirements. These ratings matter for code compliance audits, outdoor installations, and environments with washdown or chemical exposure, ensuring predictable performance and streamlined procurement for regulated facilities.
Yes. The NEMA 4X rating and fiberglass construction provide corrosion resistance and weather protection suitable for outdoor and washdown environments. When installed with proper sealing and secure mounting, the enclosure performs reliably against moisture, dust, and impacts typical in industrial outdoors, processing, and food/beverage facilities.
External mounting feet simplify alignment and mounting on a wall or bulkhead, allowing precise positioning without internal brackets. This design accelerates retrofits and new installs, reduces site labor, and helps ensure a robust seal around the door, contributing to improved IP protection and safer maintenance access.
By combining durable fiberglass construction, reliable gasket sealing, and secure access, the enclosure reduces maintenance costs, downtime, and risk of environmental damage to electrical controls. Its standardized dimensions and mounting options also lower installation labor, spare parts, and retrofit complexity, delivering a favorable return on investment over the equipment lifecycle.
