HOFFMAN A8R86 Enclosure Overview

The HOFFMAN A8R86 is a carbon steel electrical enclosure measuring 8 inches high, 8 inches wide and 6 inches deep. It carries a NEMA Type 3R rating and an IP32 rating for protection against falling dirt and dripping water. The galvanised grey finish resists corrosion in indoor and sheltered outdoor locations. It is supplied with captive screws and mounting holes for wall installation.

Build Integration Requirements

The enclosure uses a screw-on solid cover secured by captive screws that remain attached during servicing. Mounting holes allow direct wall fixing without additional brackets. The 12, 14 and 16 gauge steel construction provides structural rigidity for component mounting. Compliance with UL50, 50E and CSA C22.2 No 94 supports use in inspected installations. The cUL listing and IEC 60529 rating simplify specification approvals.

Capacity and Environmental Limits

Internal volume accommodates terminal blocks, relays or small control assemblies within the 8 by 8 by 6 inch cavity. The NEMA 3R rating handles rain, sleet and external ice formation but does not protect against hose-directed water or dust ingress beyond IP32. It is not suited for submerged, hazardous-location or high-pressure wash-down environments. Buyers needing deeper enclosures, higher IP ratings or non-metallic materials should consider alternative products.

Questions about this item

What is the NEMA rating that defines the enclosure's protection against rain and sleet?

The enclosure carries a NEMA Type 3R rating, which means it is designed to protect internal components from falling rain, sleet and external ice formation.

How warm does the galvanized carbon-steel body get when mounted in direct sunlight all day?

The 12/14/16 ga carbon steel with a galvanized gray finish absorbs solar heat, so the surface temperature will rise well above ambient; provide shading or ventilation if internal components are temperature-sensitive.

Which mounting hardware must I supply to attach this box to a wall?

The enclosure includes captive cover screws and pre-drilled mounting holes, but you must provide the lag bolts, anchors or screws suited to your wall material.
