Eaton PV8 Pushbutton Enclosures - NEMA 12
Part Number: PV8
Quick Summary
Eaton PV8 Pushbutton Enclosures protect control circuits inside industrial panels and machine controls. Engineers often struggle with mounting flexibility, environmental exposure, and regulatory compliance in tight panel spaces. These enclosures are built to UL 508A, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 12 standards, delivering reliable protection across demanding environments. With a carbon steel body, 14 gauge wall, and a painted ANSI 61 gray finish, the PV8 combines rugged durability with installation ease. The result is a robust, serviceable solution for control panels that reduces downtime while supporting efficient maintenance and scalable automation upgrades.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEMA 12 protection with carbon steel construction reduces ingress of dust, dirt, and splashes, lowering the risk of control faults and extending panel life in harsh manufacturing environments; application in process rooms and machine controls. Feature → Measurable efficiency gains through surface mounting: 20.25 in height, 3.25 in width, 2.75 in depth provide generous space for pushbutton assemblies while enabling straightforward wall mounting; application for compact control panels and centralized operator stations. Feature → External mounting feet and screw cover simplify installation and field servicing, reducing labor time and minimizing potential gasket damage; application for factory floors and retrofit projects where quick access is needed. Feature → Oil-resistant gasket and painted finish deliver durable sealing and long-term aesthetics, supporting ongoing maintenance cycles and reducing repaint costs; application for long-life installations in environments with incidental oil exposure. Feature → UL 508A, CSA C22.2, and NEMA 12 certifications ensure regulatory compliance and safe operation across facilities; application for compliant control panels in automotive, food & beverage, and general manufacturing settings. Additional benefit: 6.8 lb weight and surface mounting compatibility improve transportability and installation flexibility in constrained spaces.

FAQs
PV8 is a surface-mounted carbon steel enclosure with external mounting feet and a screw cover, designed for straightforward installation on standard wall structures. The 20.25 in height, 3.25 in width, and 2.75 in depth provide ample room for pushbutton assemblies while minimizing required panel real estate. This reduces retrofit complexity and speeds up commissioning in new control panels.
Critical specs include a 20.25 in height, 3.25 in width, 2.75 in depth, 14 gauge wall thickness, and a 6.8 lb weight, all in a carbon steel body. The NEMA 12 rating, UL 508A and CSA C22.2 certifications, and an oil-resistant gasket ensure reliable protection against dust, splashes, and minor chemical exposure while meeting industry codes for panel assemblies.
PV8 carries a NEMA 12 rating, which is intended for indoor use against dust and light splash; it is not specified for outdoor or wash-down environments. For harsher or outdoor conditions, consider enclosures with higher ingress ratings (such as NEMA 4X) or protective treatments beyond the PV8 standard to ensure long-term resilience.
PV8 meets UL 508A for industrial control panels, CSA C22.2 for Canadian electrical compliance, and NEMA 12 protection class for dust and splash resistance. These certifications help assure regulatory compliance, safer operation, and simplified procurement processes for regulated facilities across manufacturing, food & beverage, and automotive sectors.
The combination of carbon steel construction, oil-resistant gasket, and a paint finish reduces corrosion risk and cosmetic wear, lowering replacement and repaint costs over time. Its surface-mount design and external feet speed installation and future servicing, reducing downtime during routine maintenance or reconfiguration and supporting longer asset life on automated production lines.
