Eaton PBP12 Push Button Enclosures - NEMA 12 Heavy-Duty
Part Number: PBP12
Quick Summary
Eaton B-Line PBP12 push button enclosures protect control circuits in rugged industrial panels. Maintenance teams often struggle with dust, oil exposure, and time-consuming access when enclosures fail to seal properly. These PBP enclosures deliver a robust NEMA 12 rating, a carbon steel body with 14 gauge wall, and a hinged, removable cover for fast maintenance. Originating in the US and finished in ANSI 61 gray paint, they align with local procurement while offering reliable performance. For panel designers and technicians, their surface mounting with external feet simplifies installation and future upgrades. Designed for surface mounting, the PBP12 easily integrates with existing control panels and supports removable pull rings for quick operation. With its oil-resistant gasket and durable 14 gauge carbon steel, the enclosure helps minimize downtime and gasket failures in demanding environments.

NEMA 12 protection and carbon steel construction deliver durable protection against dust and oil exposure, reducing maintenance costs and extending service life in manufacturing and process environments. This translates to lower downtime and higher equipment availability for critical production lines. The hinged, removable cover with a recessed pull ring enables rapid access during routine servicing, speeding fault isolation and component replacement while keeping controls secure when closed. A 14 gauge wall and 14 gauge carbon steel body provide structural rigidity, resisting deformation in crowded control spaces and during external mounting. External mounting feet and surface-mounted design simplify retrofits and new installations, decreasing commissioning time and enabling straightforward alignment with existing footprints. The compact small single door model footprint optimizes panel real estate without sacrificing protection or accessibility, supporting space-constrained control cabinets and modular plant layouts. The ANSI 61 gray painted finish adds corrosion resistance and a consistent industrial aesthetic for fleet-wide installations.

FAQs
The PBP12 is designed for surface mounting with external mounting feet, simplifying installation in existing control panels. The hinged cover and small single door format provide quick access for routine maintenance, while the external feet help align the enclosure with mounting footprints and existing enclosures in a scalable panel configuration.
Yes. The enclosure carries a NEMA 12 rating, which provides protection against dust and oil splashes typical in manufacturing, processing, and equipment rooms. The carbon steel body paired with an oil-resistant gasket further mitigates gasket degradation and ingress in demanding environments.
The hinged cover and removable pull ring enable fast access to internal components, speeding inspections and replacements. Surface mounting with external feet reduces site preparation and alignment time, while the sturdy 14 gauge carbon steel construction minimizes rework from fitment issues during upgrades or reconfigurations.
PBP12 combines a small single-door design with surface mounting and external feet, offering a compact footprint without compromising protection. The hinged cover, recessed pull ring, and plated screws streamline serviceability, making it well suited for space-constrained panels in heavy industry and process environments.
