PV3 provides NEMA 12 protection with an oil-resistant gasket, reducing ingress of dust and oil and delivering higher reliability in daily operation. This translates to longer maintenance intervals, fewer field failures, and improved line uptime for factory automation panels and operator stations. The compact footprint (8 in height, 4 in width, 4.75 in depth) supports quick retrofits and cleaner wire routing in tight machine spaces, enabling faster panel builds and easier equipment expansion. Made from 14-gauge carbon-steel with ANSI 61 gray painted finish, PV3 delivers rugged durability and a solid mounting surface that resists impact and wear on the factory floor. Surface mounting with external feet simplifies installation, while a screw cover protects interior components from contaminants and streamlines service access. UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications, together with a NEMA 12 rating, provide compliance confidence for industrial environments. These features minimize maintenance costs and support reliable operation in demanding automation applications.

FAQs
PV3 is designed for surface mounting using its external feet. Begin by selecting a flat mounting surface, align the enclosure, and secure it with appropriate anchors for your wall material. The screw cover keeps the interior protected during and after wiring; connect conductors through the access points, then install push-button devices as needed. The 8 x 4 x 4.75 in footprint simplifies routing and minimizes interference with adjacent equipment.
PV3 measures 8 in in height, 4 in in width, and 4.75 in in depth, with a weight of approximately 3.3 lb. Built from 14-gauge carbon steel and finished in ANSI 61 gray paint, it uses a screw cover and external mounting feet for straightforward installation. Catalog number PV3 and UPC 782051702446 help with ordering and inventory control.
Yes. PV3 carries UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications and is rated NEMA 12 for dust and oil protection. This combination supports compliance in factory automation environments and simplifies approvals for electrical enclosures within the Eaton B-Line push-button enclosure family.
PV3 is ideal for control panels and operator interfaces requiring a durable, surface-mounted enclosure with a medium single-door design. Its NEMA 12 rating protects against dust and oil exposure on factory floors, making it suitable for machine control stations, packaging lines, and material handling systems where reliable push-button access is essential.
PV3’s oil-resistant gasket, screw-covered exterior, and painted carbon-steel body reduce ingress and simplify cleaning, leading to lower maintenance costs and less downtime. The rugged 14-gauge build supports long service life, while certifications streamline compliance processes. Quick mounting feet enable faster deployments across multiple stations, delivering tangible ROI for OEMs and integrators.
