Dimensions and Mounting

This NVENT HOFFMAN electrical enclosure measures 12 inches in height and 4 inches in depth. It is constructed from 14/16 gauge carbon steel with a powder-coated gray finish. The unit features integrated mounting holes for direct wall installation.

Indoor Protection Needs

The NEMA 1 and IP30 ratings suit indoor environments where protection against solid objects and contact is required. It is not intended for outdoor use, wet locations, or areas needing protection against dust ingress or water spray. Buyers needing higher environmental sealing should consider enclosures with different ratings.

Quarter-Turn Latch Closure

The cover secures with a 1/4-turn latch that includes a screwdriver slot for operation. This mechanism allows tool-assisted access while maintaining a flush profile on the solid cover. Verify that this latch style meets your security and access requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 12-inch-high enclosure to the wall using the mounting holes?

Align the enclosure with wall studs, insert fasteners through the pre-drilled mounting holes, and tighten securely; the step often missed is verifying the box sits level before final tightening.

Will the powder-coated carbon steel finish need recoating or seal replacement over time?

The powder-coated gray finish resists corrosion under normal indoor conditions; inspect the 1/4-turn latch gasket annually and replace it if compression set or cracking appears.

At what temperature rise does the IP30-rated enclosure start to limit component life during continuous operation?

IP30 provides no forced ventilation, so internal temperature will track ambient plus load; sustained operation above the equipment’s rated maximum ambient is the first thermal limit encountered.
