FAQs
The TP126 is designed for surface-mount installation in non-hazardous locations. Its compact 2x2x3 in footprint fits crowded panel layouts, and its gangable construction allows nearby units to be mounted side-by-side for a clean, scalable enclosure matrix. With standard 1/2 in knockouts, wiring can be routed efficiently without excessive space or mounting hardware.
TP126 features end, side, and bottom knockouts sized at 1/2 in each, specifically (1) end, (2) side, (1) bottom. This enables flexible conduit routing for typical 1/2 in systems and reduces the need for additional fittings. The option of conduit (no clamps) further simplifies wiring while preserving enclosure integrity.
The TP126 is intended for ordinary/non-hazardous locations, as indicated by its area classification. It adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is UL-certified for steel switch boxes, making it a reliable choice for non-hazardous environments where regulatory compliance and safe enclosure practice are required.
TP126 complies with NEC/CEC standards and is certified for ordinary/non-hazardous locations. UL certifications for steel switch boxes are available, including documentation for Canada, ensuring broad regulatory acceptance. This certification matrix supports safe installation in standard industrial control environments.
The TP126 reduces total cost of ownership by combining a compact steel enclosure with versatile knockouts and gangable compatibility, lowering parts and labor costs during installation. Its light weight (0.47 lb) and small footprint save mounting hardware and space in dense panels, while NEC/CEC compliance minimizes compliance-related risk and rework.
