The enclosure features carbon steel construction with a wall thickness rated at 14 gauge (body) and 12 gauge (door), delivering durable protection for indoor control panels and power distribution. This structural rigidity translates to fewer service calls and longer service intervals in harsh environments, supporting applications from factory floors to data centers. The hinged cover with heavy-duty butt hinge and trimcover enhances access while maintaining a clean, professional appearance, reducing maintenance time and improving operator readiness. A T-handle with 3-point latching paired with key locking adds robust security against tampering, protecting critical drives and control logic without sacrificing accessibility for authorized staff. Surface mounting with thru-hole mounting points accelerates installation and allows flexible positioning on walls or equipment racks, lowering project timelines and enabling quick relocations if plant layouts change. Finishing in ANSI 61 gray painted carbon steel provides corrosion resistance and a professional, low-maintenance appearance suitable for indoor environments. The NEMA 1 rating, combined with UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications, ensures enclosure integrity during routine industrial operation and electrical protection for panel boards, motor starters, and control assemblies. Overall, these specifications support cost-efficient, code-compliant deployments across manufacturing, utilities, and commercial facilities.
