FAQs
TP236 supports a gangable design that enables adjoining boxes to form multi-gang assemblies, maximizing space efficiency in control panels. For installation, align mounting tabs with adjacent units, ensure consistent knockouts for NM clamps, and maintain proper spacing for wiring clearance. This reduces cabinet depth and accelerates panel assembly in industrial environments.
TP236 carries UL certification for steel switch boxes and complies with NEC/CEC standards. It is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, clarifying suitable deployment in standard electrical installations. This combination supports regulatory compliance, safer audits, and reliable performance in typical manufacturing or processing facilities.
TP236 provides 3 in depth, 3.5 in height, and 2 in width with an 18 cubic inch capacity. It accommodates one 1/2 inch bottom knockout and two cable knockouts and uses NM clamps for wiring. The steel construction supports robust protection for splices and terminations in compact control-panel spaces.
TP236 is ideal for electrical protection and circuit control in control panels, junction boxes, and motor control centers within ordinary locations. Its gangable design supports scalable enclosure arrays, while NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification ensure safe, code-conforming installation in manufacturing, food & beverage, and facility automation projects.
To maximize ROI, plan for gangable configurations to minimize cabinet count, use the NM clamps and knockouts as designed to streamline wiring, and verify compliance with NEC/CEC and UL listings during inspections. Keeping the enclosure within its 18 cu in capacity and weight of 0.77 lb reduces rework, speeds field wiring, and extends service life in harsh industrial settings.
