FAQs
The 888 SC is designed for surface mounting with thru holes, supporting straightforward attachment to walls or equipment panels. The 8x8x8 in footprint aligns with common mounting patterns, reducing the need for custom brackets. This configuration simplifies retrofits and new builds while maintaining serviceability for routine maintenance.
Yes. Built from carbon steel with a 16 gauge wall and ANSI 61 gray finish, the 888 SC delivers durable indoor protection (NEMA Type 1) against dust and grime. Its screw-covered access and robust construction support reliable operation in busy manufacturing floors and control rooms with minimal downtime.
The enclosure carries UL 50, CSA C22.2, and NEMA Type 1 ratings, confirming compliance with North American electrical safety and performance standards. These certifications simplify regulatory approvals for commercial and light-industrial installations and support consistent labeling and warranty expectations across projects.
The 888 SC offers four top knockouts, four side knockouts, and four bottom knockouts, along with thru holes for versatile wiring routes. This layout supports efficient cable management, minimizes the need for additional fittings, and accelerates panel wiring for control cabinets and junctions in automated systems.
The combination of a screw-access door, rugged carbon steel construction, and standardized knockouts reduces maintenance time and parts inventory. This leads to lower downtime, faster commissioning, and predictable lifecycle costs, delivering a favorable return on investment in both retrofit and new-build automation projects.
