FAQs
The TP164 is a gangable, steel switch box designed for control panels and non-hazardous locations. It accommodates NM clamps, includes a 1/2 in bottom knockout, and measures 3 in by 2 in by 2.5 in, making it compatible with standard module layouts and compact industrial enclosures. Its Hold-Tite brackets facilitate secure mounting in multi-gang assemblies, reducing field fabrication time.
TP164 is NEC/CEC compliant and UL-listed for steel switch boxes, ensuring conformity with major electrical codes. It is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, which supports typical commercial and industrial environments without hazardous rating requirements. These certifications help streamline approvals, reduce testing overhead, and support reliable installation practices.
With a 12.5 cubic inch capacity, the TP164 can accommodate multiple conductors per termination, depending on wire gauge and insulation. For typical control wiring, plan for a conservative fill that leaves space for secure NM clamps and clean terminations. This capacity balances compact enclosure size with practical wiring needs in panel assemblies.
TP164 is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It is not rated for hazardous environments or outdoor exposure without additional protection. For outdoor or hazardous-area applications, select enclosures with appropriate ingress protection (IP) ratings and hazardous-location certifications to meet local codes and safety requirements.
TP164 offers a compact, gangable steel design with Hold-Tite brackets and ears for quick mounting. The NM clamps and 1/2 in bottom knockout simplify wiring, while the 12.5 cu in capacity supports efficient termination layouts. Its NEC/CEC compliance and UL listing reduce compliance risk, making it a reliable choice for scalable panel installations and maintenance-efficient retrofits.
