Copper-free aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance and lighter weight, improving handling during installation and reducing long-term maintenance costs in harsh environments. This material choice directly supports longer service life in chemical plants, refineries, and outdoor installations, while maintaining structural integrity under vibration and temperature cycles. The 1/2 inch trade size and Tee-style surface mount design enable rapid installs with standard conduit practices, lowering labor time and minimizing field assembly errors. IP66 and NEMA 4 ratings provide robust protection against dust and water ingress, ensuring equipment remains sealed in wet, dusty, or wash-down environments and lowering the risk of costly downtime. Certified for NEC/CEC compliance and hazardous-location classifications, this box helps engineering teams meet regulatory requirements without over-specifying components, supporting safer, compliant asset protection. The enclosure’s compact footprint (3.38 in L × 2.38 in W × 6 in H) fits neatly in restricted spaces, improving cabinet density and scalability for growing systems.

FAQs
The HFSCT1BC is a surface-mounted, Tee-style device box sized for 1/2 inch trade connections. Its dimensions are 3.38 inches long, 2.38 inches wide, and 6 inches high, with a copper-free aluminum body. It carries IP66 protection and NEMA 4 construction, designed for Pauluhn HFS enclosures in hazardous locations, enabling straightforward, standardized installation in constrained spaces.
Yes. The HFSCT1BC complies with NEC/CEC standards and supports hazardous-location classifications including Class I, Division 2; Zone 2; Class II, Division 1; Division 2; and Class III. It also features the NEMA 4 rating and IP66 ingress protection, confirming suitability for demanding environments such as chemical plants and outdoor installations.
IP66 protection guards against dust ingress and powerful water jets, reducing the likelihood of contamination or moisture-related failures. This translates to lower maintenance frequency, extended equipment life, and higher uptime in outdoor, wash-down, or damp facilities where reliable enclosure sealing is critical for safety and performance.
Yes. Its hazardous-location approvals (Class I, Division 2; Zone 2; Class II Division 1/2; Class III) combined with IP66/NEMA 4 protection make it suitable for oil and gas, chemical processing, and other demanding industrial environments, enabling compliant installations while safeguarding termination integrity and reducing risk of environmental exposure.
Use appropriate gaskets and conduit fittings compatible with 1/2 inch trade-size connections, ensuring a proper seal. Verify mounting surfaces are flat for optimal gasket compression, and follow Pauluhn HFS catalog guidance for covers and hardware. Plan for surface-mount alignment with existing conduit layouts to minimize modification work and ensure consistent, code-compliant termination access.
