The Type 3R NEMA-rated enclosure delivers weather resistance and protects energized components in exterior installations, reducing maintenance frequency and downtime while supporting outdoor service panels and equipment controllers. Its galvanized steel, 16 gauge walls provide robust strength and corrosion resistance in dusty or humid environments, helping you extend service life with lower replacement costs. Surface mounting with embossed thru holes and four bottom knockouts offers flexible routing for conductors and fast configuration, which translates to faster installation and fewer field adaptations on site. The small single-door design with a screw cover enables secure access to inside panels without compromising enclosure integrity, while the rain hood accessory option enhances protection in rain-prone locations. This combination supports safer, compliant installations across industrial, HVAC, and utility applications, with predictable labor and materials costs.

FAQs
The 886 RTSCGV is designed for surface mounting and features embossed thru holes for precise mounting alignment. It also includes 4 bottom knockouts to accommodate conduit entry, enabling flexible wiring routes. For enhanced protection in wet environments, you can pair it with a rain hood and use plated screws to maintain corrosion resistance while securing the cover.
Yes. The enclosure is rated Type 3R and supports outdoor installation. Certifications include UL 50 and CSA C22.2, with the NEMA 3R rating providing protection against rain, wind, and corrosion in typical industrial outdoor settings, ensuring compliance and safe operation in harsh environments.
The enclosure measures 8 inches in height and width, with a 6 inch depth. It weighs approximately 5.7 pounds. This compact footprint, combined with the 16 gauge galvanized steel construction, delivers sturdy protection for small control panels and junction terminations without adding excessive bulk.
Rain hood compatibility enhances outdoor performance by adding an extra layer of protection against precipitation and debris, helping to maintain enclosure integrity and electrical safety. The RTSCGV's embossed mounting provisions and screw cover design simplify secure assembly, while the rain hood option minimizes ingress paths and supports longer service intervals in outdoor or partially sheltered locations.
Consider adding a rain hood for added weather protection, and utilize the embossed mounting provisions and bottom knockouts for wiring flexibility. Choose plated screws to resist corrosion, and plan surface mounting locations where access and serviceability are required. This combination helps meet NEMA 3R expectations while maintaining quick install times and consistent maintenance routines.
