FAQs

Begin by confirming the panel opening matches a single-gang footprint. Mount the cover in horizontal or vertical orientation using standard mounting hardware, then secure inserts or hinges as needed to achieve the 16:1 configurability. Ensure a proper seal to maintain the NEMA 3R rating and NEC/CEC compliance.
Check material (die-cast aluminum), color (White), depth (3.125 in), overall dimensions (6 in length x 3.5 in height x 4.1 in width), and weight (0.71 lb). Confirm mounting direction, number of gangs (Single-gang), and the 16:1 configuration capability to ensure compatibility with inserts and movable hinges.
Yes. The part is rated NEMA 3R and classified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC, making it appropriate for outdoor or indoor installations where protection from water, dust, and incidental contact is required.
Universal mounting simplifies installations across horizontal or vertical layouts, and the extra-duty construction reduces maintenance frequency in busy facilities. The cover’s compatibility with inserts and movable hinges supports future reconfigurations without replacing hardware.
By reducing the need for frequent replacements and lowering the risk of entry of contaminants, WIUM1DW1 improves uptime and safety. The NEC/CEC compliance and NEMA 3R rating help ensure regulatory alignment and safer panel operation with minimal ongoing maintenance costs.
