Material and protection: The enclosure is built from stainless steel, delivering corrosion resistance in damp, oily, or washdown environments. This aligns with NEMA 4X protection and helps extend service life across multiple shifts. Operationally, that means fewer field repairs and lower preventive maintenance costs, particularly in food and beverage, chemical, or water treatment plants. It also supports regulatory compliance by maintaining enclosure integrity over time. Size, mounting, and durability: With 60 in height, 49 in length, and 12 in width, the FD604912-4XSFD accommodates large disconnect assemblies while preserving service access. Ground mounting provides stability in seismic or high-vibration applications, and the substantial 382.534 lb weight communicates robust protection against accidental impacts. For installers, the ground-mount method reduces mounting complexity on established frames. Security and seal: A hinged cover paired with a 3-point latching handle enhances operator security and seal integrity. The oil-resistant gasket further protects against leaks, supporting reliable operation in oil-rich environments and during routine maintenance. Cable entries and accessories: Twelve bottom knockouts enable flexible feed-through and routing, compatible with common conduit sizes and Eaton enclosure accessories catalog items. This simplifies field modifications and future capacity expansions without swapping enclosures. Certifications and compatibility: UL 508A, CSA C22.2 and NEMA ratings ensure code compliance and risk reduction in regulated facilities. The enclosure is designed for the Eaton B-Line series, enabling seamless integration with existing panels, accessories, and mounting hardware.

Yes. The NEMA 4X designation, combined with stainless steel construction and an oil-resistant gasket, provides strong resistance to washdowns, moisture, and corrosive exposure typical of outdoor or industrial settings. The hinged cover facilitates routine inspections without compromising protection. For outdoor sites, ensure cables are routed through bottom knockouts with weatherproof entries and proper sealing during installation.
Industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage, and general manufacturing benefit from this enclosure. Its large footprint accommodates substantial disconnect assemblies while preserving service access. Ground mounting reduces vibration and improves stability in demanding environments, while stainless steel helps meet hygiene and corrosion requirements. It also provides a reliable platform for control panels and motor starter configurations.
Investing in the FD604912-4XSFD reduces downtime by limiting corrosion-related failures and seal leaks over the enclosure’s life. The combination of NEMA 4X protection, sturdy stainless steel, and a 3-point latch simplifies maintenance scheduling and reduces field labor for serviceability. Although upfront costs are higher than lighter enclosures, the extended service life and lower maintenance demand yield a favorable ROI in demanding facilities.
