Eaton Specification Sheet - WIUM1G1
Die-cast aluminum construction provides rugged protection against impacts and corrosion, extending service life in harsh industrial environments. This feature reduces replacement intervals and maintenance costs, enabling more predictable downtime and lower total cost of ownership when outfitting panels with WIUM1G1. 2.25 inch mounting depth and overall compact 6 inch length allow installation in tight spaces without sacrificing access to internal wiring. The result is quicker retrofits and fewer site modifications, which translates to lower labor costs during panel upgrades. Universal mounting supports both horizontal and vertical orientations, while the 16:1 configuration accommodates a wide range of inserts and movable hinges. This flexibility minimizes the need for multiple covers and simplifies stocking, improving project efficiency and supply chain responsiveness. NEMA 3R rating plus NEC/CEC compliance ensures operation in ordinary/non-hazardous locations and in light outdoor conditions. This certification set helps facilities meet code requirements during audits and reduces risk of non-compliance penalties. Gray color and single-gang form factor provide a clean, professional look and compatibility with standard boxes. The combination of form factor, material, and finish supports consistent appearance across enclosures and expedites maintenance workflows in industrial automation environments. The die-cast design also resists impact from tools and forklift traffic common on plant floors, while delivering long service intervals in critical panels. Installation is straightforward with common hand tools, minimizing downtime during panel modernization projects. This cover’s durability supports proactive maintenance strategies and predictable budgeting for enclosure protection.
