FAQs
When installing FD483716-12, plan for wall mounting with external feet and appropriate anchors for concrete or steel surfaces. Ensure adequate clearance for hinge operation and service access, and confirm gasket seating for a proper NEMA 12 seal. Verify that wiring routes align with the internal layout and comply with UL 508A wiring practices for disconnect enclosures.
Key specs include 48 in height, 37 in width, and 16 in depth, 14-gauge carbon steel walls, ANSI 61 gray painted finish, NEMA 12 rating, and a hinged removable cover. Weight is approximately 149.5 lb. It supports external mounting feet and is designed for wall mounting with a medium single door configuration.
FD483716-12 is designed for indoor or sheltered environments where dust protection is required. The NEMA 12 rating provides protection against dust and non-damaging moisture, making it suitable for controlled plant floors and indoor electrical rooms, rather than exposed outdoor installations.
The enclosure carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 listings and a NEMA 12 rating. These certifications verify electrical safety for industrial control gear, streamline procurement for regulated projects, and support compliance during code inspections and audits in manufacturing and process environments.
The combination of a hinged, removable cover, external mounting feet, and a seamless gasket reduces maintenance time and downtime during servicing. The durable carbon steel construction and protective finish extend service life, lowering replacement frequency and enabling predictable total cost of ownership in capital projects and ongoing plant operations.
