The 886 SC is built from carbon steel with a 16-gauge wall, delivering robust protection against impact and wear in busy industrial spaces, while the ANSI 61 gray finish maintains appearance and corrosion resistance in dry indoor applications. This feature translates to reduced maintenance costs and longer service life for control panels. Its 6 in depth, 8 in height, and 8 in width provide a compact footprint that fits tight installations without compromising wiring space, improving overall panel density and ease of access. Four top, four side, and four bottom knockouts enable flexible field wiring, with thru holes simplifying mounting layouts and minimizing retrofit time. A screw cover and keyhole slots on the cover, paired with plated screws, support quick service and secure closure. The surface mounting method accelerates installation on walls or equipment frames, lowering labor costs and exposure to inbound debris. The enclosure’s Type 1 NEMA/UL 50 alignment supports standard indoor dry applications, while the included features reduce common misalignment and misrouting issues observed in off-the-shelf boxes. This combination of predictable dimensions, standardized hardware, and proven reliability makes it a preferred choice for system integrators seeking repeatable outcomes and fast project turnover.

FAQs
Installation begins with selecting the mounting surface and aligning the enclosure using thru holes for secure fastening. Use the four top, four side, and four bottom knockouts to route conductors, then attach the cover with plated screws and utilize the keyhole slots on the cover for quick service access. The surface-mount design supports wall or equipment-frame mounting, enabling rapid deployment in new or retrofit projects.
Key specs include a 6 in depth, 8 in height, and 8 in width enclosure with a 5.7 lb weight, 16-gauge carbon steel walls, ANSI 61 gray painted finish, screw cover, surface mounting, and thru-mount holes. It features four top, four side, and four bottom knockouts and a NEMA 1/UL 50 rating suitable for indoor dry environments.
No, the 886 SC is rated for indoor dry environments under NEMA 1/UL 50 guidelines. For outdoor or damp locations, consider enclosures with higher IP ratings and additional sealing. If you need exterior protection, plan for a Type 3R, 4X, or related enclosure alternative and verify compatibility with your specific environmental conditions.
This enclosure carries UL 50, CSA C22.2 certifications, and a NEMA rating of 1. These certifications validate compliance with recognized safety and performance standards, reducing procurement risk and ensuring the enclosure meets industry requirements for indoor, dry electrical installations in control panels and distribution points.
Durable carbon steel construction with a robust 16-gauge wall minimizes maintenance and replacement costs over time, while the screw cover and keyhole features simplify service. The four knockouts per side, top, and bottom plus thru-hole mounting support flexible wiring layouts, which can shorten installation cycles and reduce field labor, delivering faster ROI on panel builds and retrofits.
