FAQs
When installing the 8848 G wireway, plan for its 8x8x48 inch footprint and 14 gauge steel construction. Utilize the thru holes for mounting, align with existing DIN rail or enclosure fixtures, and leverage the 15 top and 15 bottom knockouts to route power and data cabling. Ensure clearance for cover removal and screw access, and verify ANSI 61 gray finish compatibility with surrounding equipment.
The 8848 G is CSA Certified and UL Listed, providing recognized compliance for industrial enclosures. This reduces qualification risk for cabinets and panels in regulated environments. Confirm local code adoption and file documentation with your compliance team. The NEMA 1 rating further supports indoor, non-hazardous installations, aiding in safe operation and inspection readiness.
Yes. The design includes 15 top knockouts and 15 bottom knockouts along with thru holes, enabling flexible routing of power, data, and control wiring. This supports phased installations, future expansions, and rapid reconfiguration without replacing the enclosure. It’s particularly useful for building out multi-zone control panels and machine wiring schemes.
Plated screws on the cover offer corrosion resistance and a durable fastening solution, reducing wear over time in demanding environments. The screw-secured cover facilitates straightforward maintenance access, minimizing downtime during inspections, updates, or reworks. This design choice also helps maintain enclosure integrity and appearance in ANSI 61 gray finish.
Using the 8848 G wireway improves installation speed through standardized dimensions and abundant knockout options, reducing labor hours and field rewiring costs. Its durable 14 gauge steel and plated screws lower replacement and maintenance expenses, while CSA UL certification mitigates compliance risk. Over a typical project life, expect lower downtime and faster changeovers, translating to meaningful total cost of ownership savings.
