Eaton FD722718-4XSFS Ground Enclosure - NEMA 4X
Part Number: FD722718-4XSFS
Quick Summary
The Eaton FD722718-4XSFS ground mounted disconnect enclosure provides safe, code-compliant housing for disconnects in manufacturing and processing facilities, enabling organized control circuits and straightforward field servicing. Engineers frequently wrestle with corrosion, ingress, and maintenance access in harsh environments, leading to downtime and costly repairs without reliable enclosure protection and seal integrity. It is UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certified, and NEMA rated, offering robust protection against environmental hazards while meeting industry electrical standards for safety and reliability. Stainless steel construction and an oil-resistant gasket deliver long life, reduced maintenance, and improved reliability, while a hinged cover and 3-point latch simplify access in B-Line systems. For project teams, the 72" height, 18" length, and 27" width accommodate larger disconnects and provide ample room for wiring, making retrofits faster and safer.

Stainless steel construction delivers durable, corrosion-resistant protection that stands up to wash-down and outdoor environments. This material choice reduces ongoing maintenance costs and extends service life compared with painted or mixed-material enclosures. In practice, the FD722718-4XSFS supports reliable operation in process plants, chemical facilities, and utility installations where cleanliness and robust enclosure integrity are non-negotiable. NEMA 4X rating with an oil-resistant gasket delivers superior ingress protection and sealing performance against liquids, oils, and dust. The result is fewer field faults and less unscheduled downtime, especially in environments with splash, spray, or chemical exposure. For equipment owners, this translates to predictable maintenance windows and lower risk of environmental damage to control circuits. Hinged cover and 3-point latching handle improve serviceability and security, enabling technicians to access internal components quickly while maintaining strong weather sealing. The combination supports faster maintenance cycles during outages and reduces the likelihood of tampering, which is critical in shared facilities or multi-tenant installations. Bottom knockouts (twelve) provide flexible conduit routing and simplified installation planning, which is valuable when integrating new drives, sensors, or power feeds. This feature minimizes field wiring changes and accelerates project timelines for retrofit projects or new builds, while still preserving access for future expansion and reconfiguration. Ground mounting with a large footprint and bottom knockouts supports scalable layouts, enabling installers to position a single enclosure to serve multiple disconnects while maintaining safe clearance and cable management. When paired with Eaton’s B-Line accessories, the enclosure delivers a modular solution that reduces total installed cost and tightens the control cabinet footprint. It also positions the enclosure for quick deployment in modular projects and supports consistent enclosure temperature management.

FAQs
FD722718-4XSFS is designed for outdoor and wash-down environments, combining a stainless steel body with a NEMA 4X enclosure rating and oil-resistant gasket. This configuration guards against moisture, dust, and chemical exposure while maintaining easy access through a hinged cover and 3-point latch. The result is reliable protection for disconnects in manufacturing, water treatment, and energy facilities.
Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and structural rigidity, while the NEMA 4X rating seals against water, dust, and chemical exposure. The oil-resistant gasket further minimizes leaks, reducing cleaning and maintenance requirements. Together these features translate into longer service life, fewer field repairs, and lower total cost of ownership in demanding environments.
Yes. The FD722718-4XSFS is part of the Eaton B-Line series and is designed for ground-mounted disconnect applications. It offers 12 bottom knockouts for flexible conduit routing and compatibility with common B-Line accessories, enabling straightforward retrofits or new-build installations without costly rework. This compatibility supports modular expansion, consistent mounting patterns, and simplified supplier alignment across facilities.
This enclosure carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications along with NEMA ratings, signaling compliance with recognized safety and performance standards for industrial control equipment. For designers and procurement teams, these certifications reduce risk during audits, support warranty eligibility, and simplify approval processes in regulated facilities.
Plan for ground mounting access, the 72 inch height, and 12 bottom knockouts to accommodate wiring routes and future expansion. Consider hinge clearance, 3-point latch operation, and seal integrity during gasket maintenance. Align with Eaton B-Line catalogs for compatible brackets, bulkhead fittings, and mounting hardware to minimize field errors.
