Eaton NXTS13826161 N-TB Enclosure - IP66 / 4X Stainless

316L stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance in chemical processing, offshore, and marine environments, where salt spray, humidity, and aggressive vapors threaten enclosure integrity. The material resists pitting and crevice corrosion far better than mild steel, reducing maintenance cycles and extending service life by years in harsh sites. This durability also supports long-term cost savings by lowering repainting, refurbishment, and replacement frequencies for critical automation hardware. With a generous footprint of 38 x 26 x 16 inches and a 400 A rating, the NXTS13826161 provides ample space for controllers, relays, and wiring blocks without forcing deeper cabinet housings in crowded electrical rooms. The 316L stainless steel construction maintains rigidity and protection while accommodating larger equipment footprints and simplifying future expansion. The combination reduces enclosure sprawl and minimizes the number of intermediate enclosures needed in a system upgrade. Included hardware includes one gland plate and a reliable hinge, enabling clean cable entry and easy access during maintenance. The enclosure's design supports efficient field wiring, with pre-drilled gland arrangements and predictable door swing to optimize ergonomic workflows. With these features, technicians can wire, reseal, and test assemblies faster, cutting on-site labor time. IP66 and NEMA 4X protection meet stringent ingress and corrosion resistance requirements, ensuring performance in wet, dusty, and washdown environments. The product also carries NEC/CEC certification alongside IECEx/ATEX approvals, confirming suitability for Hazardous/Classified Locations. It supports Class I, Zone 1 and Division 2 installations, enabling safe operation in upstream oil and gas and chemical processing facilities. 316 mm horizontal fixing center and 250 mm vertical fixing center align with common mounting patterns, simplifying retrofit and integration with existing frame rails. The 38x26x16 inch size balances internal space with door clearance, reducing the need for custom enclosures while maintaining service access. Industry specialists appreciate the combination of robust enclosure performance and installation flexibility when upgrading legacy systems or integrating new automation hardware. Overall, the NXTS13826161 N-TB enclosure stands out for corrosion resistance, safe installation, and compliance-ready performance in hazardous environments.
