The carbon steel body uses a 16 gauge wall, delivering robust durability that withstands impact and corrosion in demanding industrial settings, reducing replacement costs and service calls. This translates to lower total cost of ownership for facilities with frequent equipment access and rugged environments, enabling quicker wiring and maintenance in busy control rooms. The Type 3/3R NEMA rating guarantees weather resistance for outdoor and semi-exposed locations, minimizing downtime due to rain, dust, or ice ingress while maintaining compliant enclosure integrity for critical circuits. A screw cover and flanged closure provide secure access and long service life, supporting fast routine maintenance without compromising protection. Four bottom knockouts offer flexible conduit routing, enabling standard electrical layouts and simplifying installation in tight spaces. Rain hood and plated screws add a final layer of weather resistance, extending life in exposed sites and reducing corrosion-related maintenance. The embossed thru holes for mounting simplify surface installation with predictable alignment, ensuring repeatable, code-compliant setup. The compact 8x8x6 in footprint and small single-door design fit crowded panels and restricted spaces, optimizing enclosure density. Color ANSI 61 gray with a painted finish provides consistent appearance and additional protection without sacrificing visibility in busy environments. Certifications UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 3R support regulatory compliance and risk reduction for industrial facilities, enabling faster project approvals and safer, standard-compliant deployments.
