Feature → Business Impact → Application: The TP871 uses steel construction in a three-gang configuration with 90 cubic inches of capacity, delivering enhanced durability and ample space for complex wiring runs. This translates to fewer enclosures on site and improved wiring organization, which lowers labor time during installation and reduces future modification costs in industrial control panels. Application: Ideal for industrial and commercial electrical infrastructure projects where space is at a premium and reliable performance is required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: It provides a well-defined knockout pattern: end knockouts (one 3/4 in and one 1 in), side knockouts (four 3/4 in and one 1 in), and bottom knockouts (six 1/2 in and four 3/4 in). This configuration enhances conduit routing flexibility, enabling faster wiring layouts and easier compliance checks in control cabinets. Application: Suitable for motor control centers, switchgear panels, and distribution enclosures where routing versatility matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Precise dimensions and weight (8.63 in L x 4.25 in W x 2.5 in H; 1.83 lb) support accurate panel planning and easier handling during installation. Application: Fits standard mounting footprints in compact enclosures and ensures safe, manageable field assembly. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Material is steel with ordinary/non-hazardous location eligibility and NEC/CEC compliance, bolstering long-term reliability and regulatory alignment. Application: Suitable for non-hazardous industrial environments that require rigorous standards without specialized explosion-proof specifications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Documentation and procurement confidence is enhanced by official catalogs and UL certifications, reducing vendor risk and accelerating purchasing approvals. Application: Streamlines sourcing for compliance-driven projects and corporate risk management.

FAQs

TP871 is a three-gang steel gang box with a defined knockout pattern: end knockouts (1x 3/4 in, 1x 1 in), side knockouts (4x 3/4 in, 1x 1 in), and bottom knockouts (6x 1/2 in, 4x 3/4 in). This configuration supports common conduit sizes and simplifies field wiring, reducing the need for adapters and speeding install time while maintaining code-compliant routing.
Key specs include: 8.63 in length, 4.25 in width, 2.5 in depth; 90 cubic inch capacity; weight 1.83 lb; material steel; three-gang capacity. UPC 786189108712 and catalog TP871. These details assist in planning space, selecting compatible conduits, and ensuring regulatory alignment during panel builds.
Yes. TP871 is classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, making it suitable for many industrial control panel applications that do not require explosion-proof or harsh-environment enclosures. Its steel construction provides durability for routine industrial use while meeting regulatory requirements.
TP871 carries NEC/CEC standards compliance and UL certifications for steel gang boxes, confirming electrical safety and performance for North American markets. This certification helps streamline audits, reduces risk during procurement, and supports regulatory acceptance in compliant installations across facilities.
Because TP871 uses steel with a proven knockouts pattern and a 90 cu in capacity, maintenance is typically minimal beyond standard enclosure upkeep. ROI comes from reduced cabinet count, faster wiring, and easier future modifications, particularly in retrofit projects or environments demanding reliable, code-compliant electrical infrastructure.
