FAQs
Install the PBP4 using its external mounting feet for a stable, surface-mounted setup. Align the enclosure with the mounting surface, secure with appropriate hardware, and ensure clearance for hinge operation and gasket seating. This configuration minimizes install time and improves panel alignment with standard subpanels.
The PBP4 is rated for NEMA 12 protection, which covers dust and splash resistance in indoor or sheltered environments. It is not specified for outdoor weather exposure or IP-rated environments, so use it where enclosure ingress from the elements is minimal and indoors or within protected facilities.
The enclosure measures 8.5 inches in height, 7.5 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth, with a weight of approximately 8.9 pounds. These compact dimensions support integration into tight panels and machinery spaces while providing solid protection for internal components.
The PBP4 is designed as a medium single-door, hinged cover enclosure with external feet for surface mounting, aligning with standard push-button operator assemblies. Its 14-gauge carbon steel construction and robust Gasket/closure design support reliable mounting of standard control components and field wiring practices.
Removable covers, recessed pull rings, and plated screws enable faster wiring, servicing, and part replacements, reducing maintenance cycles and labor time. The rugged NEMA 12-rated enclosure lowers downtime due to dust/splash exposure, contributing to longer service intervals and lower total cost of ownership.
