Carbon steel construction with 14 gauge walls delivers robust physical protection, reducing damage from impact and contamination while supporting long service life in busy production lines. The 14 in height and 10.75 in width create a compact, space-efficient footprint that fits tight control stations and side-by-side installations, enabling streamlined panel layouts and faster assembly. The NEMA 12 rating provides reliable protection against dust and light oil splashes, helping maintain controller reliability in dusty or oily shop environments and reducing maintenance calls. Surface mounting with external feet simplifies installation on walls or equipment frames, cutting wiring time and enabling quick retrofits in existing lines. A hinged, removable cover with a recessed pull ring and plated screws accelerates access for wiring and maintenance, lowering downtime during parameter changes or inspections. The painted ANSI 61 gray finish offers corrosion resistance and visual consistency with other enclosure lines, aiding inventory standardization and front-door accessibility checks. The combination of removable cover, gasket integrity, and sturdy hardware supports cost-effective field service and lifecycle optimization for OEMs and end users.

FAQs
PB20 supports surface mounting with external feet for straightforward installation on walls or equipment frames. The hinged cover and removable cover design simplify wiring access and field retrofits, while external feet accommodate pre-existing mounting patterns. This combination reduces install time, minimizes machining on site, and supports quick reconfiguration as control layouts evolve in manufacturing lines.
PB20 is built from carbon steel with a 14 gauge wall, finished in ANSI 61 gray paint. It measures 14 in high, 10.75 in wide, and 3 in deep, with an approximate weight of 11 lb. The enclosure is designed as a small single-door, hinged cover, surface-mounted PB enclosure with external mounting feet for robust, space-efficient control panel integration.
Yes, PB20 is suitable for moderately harsh environments typical of manufacturing floors. The NEMA 12 rating indicates protection against dust, light oil, and splashes, making it appropriate for control panels in dusty or oily plant areas. Its 14 gauge carbon steel construction provides structural integrity, while the oil-resistant gasket adds an extra layer of sealing to maintain internal component reliability.
PB20 carries a NEMA 12 enclosure rating, reflecting environmental protection suitable for industrial control panels. It is manufactured in the US, with a robust carbon steel construction and a painted finish. While not listed with UL/CE certifications in the provided data, the combination of NEMA 12 compliance and US-origin manufacturing supports typical regulatory alignment for North American panel builds.
PB20 offers measurable maintenance benefits through its removable cover and recessed pull ring, enabling quick wiring access and faster service. The oil-resistant gasket minimizes leakage risk, reducing downtime from seal failures. External mounting feet simplify installation adjustments, enabling faster commissioning and retrofit projects, which translates to lower labor costs and improved line uptime over the equipment lifecycle.
