FAQs
The FD24218-12 is designed for wall mounting with external mounting feet, enabling straightforward surface installation. Its 24 in height, 21 in width, and 18 in depth provide ample clearance for disconnects and wiring while keeping service access front and center. Proper mounting improves cable management, reduces vibration exposure, and speeds routine maintenance.
This Eaton enclosure carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 listings and a NEMA 12 rating, confirming electrical safety, dust protection, and indoor suitability. The combination supports code compliance for control panels and disconnect arrangements, aiding procurement and installation in regulated environments.
Dimensions are 24 inches high, 21 inches wide, and 18 inches deep, with an approximate weight of 43.7 pounds. Constructed from carbon steel with a 14 gauge wall, the enclosure balances rugged protection with manageable handling during install or service.
The enclosure is specified with a NEMA 12 rating and indoor-oriented finish. While it provides dust and splash protection appropriate for many indoor environments, it is not rated for outdoor exposure or harsh weather without additional protection or a higher NEMA-rated enclosure.
Key features include a hinged, removable cover with a recessed pullring and handle provision for quick opening, an external feet mounting option for flexible placement, and a seamless gasket for reliable sealing. These design elements support fast fault isolation, easy wiring checks, and simplified replacement of disconnects.
