Feature: The enclosure uses an 18 in by 12 in by 4 in footprint with a 16 gauge carbon steel body, delivering a compact, rugged housing that preserves valuable panel space in tight installations. Impact: This efficient footprint reduces installation time, minimizes material waste, and improves overall wiring flexibility in dense control areas. Application: It’s well suited for control cabinets, service enclosures, and utility boxes in manufacturing floors and office facilities where space is at a premium. Feature: NEMA 1 rating complemented by UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications, plus a hinged, key-locked door and thru-hole mounting. Impact: Ensures dependable indoor protection, regulatory compliance, and secure access with fewer rework and audits. Application: Appropriate for non-hazardous indoor environments such as electrical rooms, corridor cabinets, and panel houses in commercial and light industrial settings. Feature: Trimmed cover, continuous piano hinge, and tumbler-style locking improve door alignment, durability, and security. Impact: Reduces maintenance downtime by simplifying alignment and extending service life under frequent door cycles. Application: Ideal where technicians require reliable access during routine servicing and preventive maintenance. Feature: Surface mounting with thru holes provides straightforward alignment with standard mounting patterns and through-bolting. Impact: Speeds up installation, minimizes field modification, and ensures robust attachment in wall-mount and equipment rack configurations. Application: Suitable for wall-mounted panels, utility closets, and compact equipment hubs in commercial facilities. Feature: Painted ANSI 61 gray finish on carbon steel with 16 gauge walls offers durable protection against dust and minor impacts. Impact: Improves lifecycle durability and lowers on-site painting or touch-up costs while maintaining a professional appearance. Application: Indoor mechanical rooms, switchgear closets, and distribution areas where reliable, cost-effective enclosure protection is required.

FAQs
The 18124 TCS is designed for surface mounting with thru holes, enabling through-bolting to standard wall studs or equipment racks. This approach simplifies alignment and reduces field fabrication, making it ideal for tight spaces and retrofit projects where existing infrastructure must be leveraged without compromising panel integrity.
Key specs include 18 in height, 12 in width, 4 in depth, a 16 gauge carbon steel body, ANSI 61 gray painted finish, and NEMA 1 rating. Certifications include UL 50 and CSA C22.2, ensuring indoor protection and compliance for non-hazardous environments.
Yes. Its NEMA 1 rating, durable carbon steel construction, hinged door with key locking, and surface-mount design make it well-suited for indoor control panels, service enclosures, and utility cabinets in light industrial settings where robust protection and secure access are required.
The enclosure complies with UL 50 and CSA C22.2 safety standards and carries a NEMA rating of 1, validating suitability for indoor, non-hazardous environments and reducing compliance risk in audits.
The durable 16 gauge carbon steel body with a hinged, key-locked door reduces downtime and security issues, while the surface-mount and thru-hole design speed installation. These factors collectively lower lifecycle costs, improve uptime, and provide scalable protection for growing control systems.
