FAQs
AC-12C20SS is designed for surface mounting with external feet, simplifying installation on standard frames. The 14-gauge 304 stainless steel walls provide robust support, and the external feet allow precise alignment without special hardware. This makes retrofits straightforward and minimizes downtime during upgrades or new installations in demanding environments.
Key specs include 12 in height, 20 in width, 9.12 in depth, and a weight of 20.1 lb. Material is 304 stainless steel with 14-gauge walls and a #4 brushed finish. It is NEMA 12 rated, UL 508A and CSA C22.2 compliant, with a screw cover, continuous hinge, and external mounting feet for easy service access.
Yes. The enclosure uses a stainless steel body with an oil-resistant gasket, delivering reliable sealing in oily environments and withstanding frequent washdowns. Its corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel construction is well-suited for manufacturing, chemical processing, and food & beverage facilities where hygiene and durability are critical.
The enclosure carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications, with a NEMA 12 rating. These certifications ensure compliance with electrical safety, installation standards, and protection against dust and oil ingress. This reduces regulatory risk for projects in industrial plants and supports safe operation in accordance with regional codes.
The ROI stems from longer service life, lower maintenance, and reduced downtime due to superior corrosion resistance and reliable sealing. While the upfront cost is higher than painted steel, the enclosure's durability and easy service access translate to fewer replacement parts, less frequent refurbishments, and faster maintenance cycles in harsh or clean environments.
