FAQs
For hazardous locations, ensure the enclosure is mounted on stable supports with proper gaskets and seals to maintain IP66/NEMA 4X protection. Provide adequate clearance for heat dissipation and wiring access, and use compatible QBX accessories where needed. Confirm NEC/CEC compliance and class/zone ratings for the specific site before commissioning.
Yes. The QBXS2403012UL is part of the Crouse-Hinds QBX family and supports compatible QBX accessories such as mounting adapters, gaskets, and hardware. This compatibility simplifies retrofits, reduces spare parts diversity, and streamlines procurement for projects using the QBX platform.
The enclosure carries IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, plus NEC/CEC compliance for hazardous locations (Class I, Zone 2; Class II, Division 1/2; Class III). These certifications validate ingress protection, corrosion resistance, and safe operation in classified areas, supporting safety audits, insurance requirements, and regulatory adherence.
By using a corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel enclosure with robust ingress protection, maintenance intervals can be extended and unplanned downtime reduced. The long service life of the enclosure lowers replacement frequency and spare-part costs, while simplifying compliance documentation and inspections—driving lower total cost of ownership over asset life.
Typical applications include housing for control panels, motor starters, and instrumentation in chemical plants, refineries, offshore platforms, and water/wastewater treatment plants. The combination of IP66/NEMA 4X protection and hazardous-location ratings makes it suitable for diesel yards, pump houses, and processing lines where moisture, dust, and corrosive agents are concerns.
