These certifications streamline regulatory compliance during inspections and project approvals, while guaranteeing a baseline level of protection for electrical connections in busy plant settings.
Yes. With a galvanized steel body, 8x8x8 dimensions, and a screw cover for quick access, the 888 SCGV is well-suited for indoor automation panels, control cabinets, and distribution boxes. Its robust construction and standard knockouts support reliable wiring and maintenance in manufacturing environments.
Plan for per-side, top, and bottom knockouts to route feeders efficiently and avoid crowding. Use the thru holes for secure mounting hardware and ensure clearance for cables. The four knockouts per face offer flexible configurations, enabling neat, code-compliant wiring paths and faster panel builds.
Galvanized steel provides corrosion resistance and structural strength for indoor applications, reducing rust-related degradation and maintenance needs. The 16 gauge wall thickness adds rigidity for long service life, while the finish remains practical for everyday use in production areas, helping minimize downtime and replacement costs.
