FAQs
The 16146-4XSCHC is designed for wall mounting with external mounting feet, enabling secure installation in tight spaces. The hinge-driven door provides straightforward access to internal components, and the compact 16 by 14 by 6 inch footprint supports retrofits in existing enclosures or new installations. The external feet also allow leveling and quick relocation if configuration changes are required.
Constructed from 304 stainless steel with a 16 gauge wall, the enclosure delivers superior corrosion resistance in wash-down and chemical environments. It carries UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications and is rated NEMA 4X, ensuring protection against corrosion, precipitation, and hose-directed water exposure. The hinged cover and poured-in-place gasket provide reliable sealing for sensitive electrical components.
Yes. The NEMA 4X rating confirms suitability for outdoor or wash-down environments, including exposure to moisture, dust, and corrosive cleaners. The 304 stainless steel construction further enhances durability in harsh settings, while the external feet and wall-mount option facilitate secure installation in exterior walkways or sheltered outdoor locations used in manufacturing, food processing, or water treatment plants.
The 16146-4XSCHC meets UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA standards, aligning the enclosure with recognized safety and performance benchmarks for electrical equipment. These certifications simplify supplier qualification and internal audits, improve traceability during compliance reviews, and help ensure that enclosure selection supports regulatory and industry-specific requirements across plant operations.
The stainless steel construction and tight-sealing gasket reduce corrosion-related maintenance and unplanned downtime, translating to lower lifecycle costs. The durable, low-maintenance design supports longer replacement intervals and fewer field visits for gasket replacement or door hardware, delivering a favorable return on investment in high-use environments such as manufacturing lines and process plants.
