Feature → Business Impact → Application: The TP248 is built from steel, delivering robust protection against physical damage in busy electrical environments, reducing replacement costs and downtime. This translates to longer service life in demanding industrial settings and lower lifecycle costs for facilities teams deploying Crouse-Hinds series steel switch boxes in control rooms and equipment spaces. Application spans electrical protection and circuit control where reliable enclosure integrity matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With an 18 cubic inch capacity and compact 3 in length by 3.5 in height and 2 in width, it optimizes space in crowded panels while maintaining room for wirenuts and connectors; installation is quicker, improving project timelines for panel builders and integrators. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Conduit (no clamps) and (2) 1/2 in end knockouts plus (1) 1/2 in bottom knockout simplify routing and maintain code-compliant access, reducing field modification costs and simplifying spare-part planning for jobs with high conduit density in ordinary locations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The gangable design supports scalable configurations for future expansions, allowing engineers to add or reconfigure boxes without rework, which lowers capital expenditure and accelerates modernization programs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance and ordinary-location suitability provide regulatory confidence for installers and maintenance personnel, helping procurement teams standardize on a single family of switch boxes across multiple sites, improving sourcing efficiency and supplier relationships.
