FAQs
The 864 RHC is designed for wall mounting with external mounting feet, enabling straightforward, level installation on standard wall studs or cabinets. Use compatible fasteners appropriate for the wall substrate, ensure the surface is clean and level, and verify door clearance for hinge operation. The enclosure supports common control panel wiring schemes through its 3 bottom knockouts, reducing retrofit time.
This enclosure carries UL 50 compliance, CSA C22.2 recognition, and a NEMA 3R rating, indicating suitability for indoor/outdoor dry to semi-damp locations with rain exposure. The 16 gauge carbon steel construction and ANSI 61 gray finish provide corrosion resistance, while the hinged rain hood and weather-aware design support long-term reliability in industrial settings.
Yes. The small single-door RHC enclosure is tailored for wall-mounted process control panels and electrical equipment in manufacturing lines, facilities, and semi-outdoor spaces. With bottom knockouts for cabling, a padlock-ready door, and a hinged cover, it accommodates routine control hardware while meeting NEMA 3R protection requirements in variable climates.
The enclosure’s UL 50 and CSA C22.2 certifications, along with the NEMA 3R rating, align with common regulatory expectations for electrical enclosures. Padlock provisions enhance security, and the durable carbon steel body reduces corrosion risks. These elements streamline inspection readiness and maintenance planning for facilities with strict safety protocols.
By combining durable construction, weather protection, and secure access, the 864 RHC minimizes unplanned downtime and repaint/refurb costs. Its modular wall-mount design lowers installation time and future upgrades, while certifications support faster approvals. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance expenses and a faster return on investment in electrical infrastructure projects.
