NEMA 4 rated enclosure with UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications provides rugged protection in challenging environments. The design shields internal components from wind-driven rain, splashes, and dust, reducing corrosion risk and unplanned downtime. In practice, this translates to safer installations in manufacturing floors, wash-down areas, and outdoor equipment rooms, where weather and washdown cycles are common. Carbon steel chassis uses a 16 gauge wall with a seamless poured-in-place gasket and ANSI 61 gray painted finish for lasting durability. This combination delivers a corrosion-resistant enclosure that maintains enclosure integrity even after years of operation in humid or dusty facilities, supporting reliable parameter monitoring and protection of sensitive electronics. With dimensions of 16 in H x 14 in W x 8 in D and a weight of 17.7 lb, the 4QT enclosure provides a compact yet practical internal volume. It fits standard control hardware, minimizes footprint while maximizing usable space, and remains easy to maneuver during installation or reconfiguration in busy panels. The hinged cover features a continuous piano hinge and 1/4-turn latches for fast, tool-free access and secure closure. External mounting feet enable straightforward installation on a wall or interior partition, speeding maintenance outages and reducing commissioning time on new builds. A wall-mountable, small single-door design with external feet supports flexible layouts for panel assemblies, motor starters, and instrumentation blocks. The combination of weather-tight gasket sealing and rugged hardware keeps installations compliant while simplifying upgrades or component swaps. Finish, color, and workmanship align with industry expectations for reliable, long-term performance in industrial automation environments, helping facilities meet ongoing compliance and cost-control objectives.
