Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and corrosion risk, enabling easier site handling and longer service life while maintaining strength for dense control cabinets. This material choice translates to lower labor costs during installation and less frequent corrosion-related maintenance in harsh environments, especially in automation panels that require reliable enclosure integrity. The shallow, single-gang Condulet FS design with a 5.16 in length and 2.75 in height optimizes space in tight electrical rooms, improving wiring routing and panel density for 1/2" trade size terminations. Weight of 0.9 lb further simplifies shipping and field installation, accelerating project timelines. The FS series compatibility and standard dimensions streamline replacement or expansion work, reducing downtime during upgrades and enabling faster maintenance cycles. Certifications to NEC/CEC, UL, and CSA standards help ensure regulatory compliance across industrial automation and electrical infrastructure projects, minimizing risk and enhancing operational reliability for control systems.

FAQs
The FSS1 SA is designed for 1/2" trade size conduits and is a shallow, single-gang device box in the Condulet FS family. It fits standard mounting patterns used by FS series covers and accepts typical mounting hardware for Condulet FS boxes. This compatibility simplifies panel design and replacement projects while maintaining a compact footprint for tight installations.
The FSS1 SA carries NEC/CEC standards compatibility and UL/CSA certifications, confirming compliance with recognized safety and performance requirements. This mix of certifications supports safe operation in ordinary locations and reduces regulatory risk for industrial automation projects. UL and CSA listings specifically address metallic device boxes, while NEC/CEC alignment ensures proper electrical installation practices in North American facilities.
Yes. The FSS1 SA is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per area classification and is well-suited for standard control panels in manufacturing and process environments. Its copper-free aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and light weight, improving handling and installation efficiency in routine automation tasks without the need for explosion-proof or specialized enclosures.
The FSS1 SA measures 5.16 inches in depth, 2.75 inches in height, and 1.88 inches in width, forming a single-gang, shallow enclosure. It weighs 0.9 pounds, making it easy to transport and install in tight spaces. These compact dimensions support higher panel density and simpler wiring routing for 1/2" conduit terminations in many control cabinet designs.
The combination of copper-free aluminum construction, light weight, and FS-series compatibility accelerates installation, reduces handling effort, and minimizes maintenance requirements. By enabling quick replacements and straightforward wiring in ordinary-location panels, it lowers total installed cost (TIC) and downtime, delivering faster project completion and improved long-term reliability for industrial electrical infrastructure.
