FAQs
This enclosure is designed for wall mounting with external mounting feet. Installers secure it to a solid wall, align the hinged cover for full access, and ensure gasket seating seals against dust and oil exposure. The setup supports quick retrofits in existing control rooms and new panel installations, reducing commissioning time.
The cabinet footprint is 20 inches wide by 20 inches high with a 7 inch depth. It uses 14 gauge carbon steel, weighs approximately 34.7 pounds, and features an oil-resistant gasket. It has a hinged cover, cont. pianohinge, and supports UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications with a NEMA 12 rating for indoor use.
Yes. The oil-resistant gasket and NEMA 12 rating provide protection against dust and non-corrosive liquids, making it well-suited for factory floors, machine shops, and areas with occasional oil splashes. For harsher outdoor or explosion-risk environments, consider different NEMA or IP-rated enclosures.
The enclosure carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications, indicating electrical safety compliance for industrial control panels. Its NEMA 12 rating confirms protection against dust and light splashes. These certifications help meet regulatory requirements, streamline procurement, and reduce risk in industrial automation projects.
The combination of a durable carbon steel body, hinged access, and reliable seals reduces maintenance downtime and the likelihood of gasket leaks. Its wall-mount design and external feet simplify installation and future upgrades, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and faster panel maintenance, especially in high-demand manufacturing environments.
