Carbon steel construction with 14 gauge and 12 gauge wall sections delivers a rugged enclosure that withstands routine service and occasional impact in demanding plants. This durable chassis supports a 71.8 lb weight and a 48 in by 24 in by 4 in footprint, giving you substantial protection without unnecessary bulk. In practice, this translates to fewer field repairs and longer maintenance intervals in automation installations. Security and accessibility are addressed with a key-locking system and a T-handle with three-point latching, complemented by a heavy-duty butt hinge. The result is tamper-resistance alongside straightforward service access for technicians. This combination supports compliant control housing in production lines where access must be controlled and auditable. Surface mounting with thru-hole mounting provisions simplifies installation in existing plant layouts and wall spaces. The ability to surface-mount and drill through holes enables rapid deployment or relocation during plant expansions. This flexibility reduces retrofit time and minimizes downtime during upgrades to new control schemes. Finished in ANSI 61 gray with a painted carbon steel surface, the enclosure blends with typical industrial interiors while resisting chipping and corrosion. Special features such as Trimcover, heavy-duty butt hinge, and a door card holder add practical value for busy maintenance environments. The TCS model is designed to work seamlessly with standard B-Line accessories and mounting patterns, ensuring compatibility with existing Eaton enclosures or retrofit kits. Certified for indoor general purpose use with NEMA rating 1 and compliance references to UL 50 and CSA C22.2, these enclosures help you meet industry safety requirements while maintaining operational uptime.
