Product Identity

The Hoffman AHE18X18X6 is a NEMA 1 rated wall mount enclosure built from carbon steel with an ANSI 61 polyester powder finish in gray. It measures 18.0 inches high by 18.0 inches wide by 6.0 inches deep and carries a 14/16 gauge metal thickness. The unit is UL Listed, cUL, CSA Certified and meets IEC standards with an IP30 rating.

Suitability

This enclosure suits installers needing a solid cover electrical box for indoor wall mounting where a 1/4 turn latch with screw driver slot provides secure closure. It is not for buyers who need a higher NEMA rating for dust or water protection, nor for applications requiring a transparent cover or a different depth profile. Outdoor or wash-down environments should look at something else.

Installation Notes

The enclosure features integrated mounting holes for direct wall attachment and a screw on cover secured by the 1/4 turn latch mechanism. Installation is straightforward using standard tools to engage the latch slot. The most common issue arises when the mounting surface is uneven, which can prevent the cover from sealing correctly against the gasket surface.

Questions about this item

What wall surface and fasteners are required to mount the 18.0 in H x 18.0 in W enclosure?

The enclosure has mounting holes for wall mounting; you must supply suitable screws or bolts for the wall material and ensure the surface can support the carbon steel box.

Can I run cables into the box alongside older conduit fittings without changing the NEMA 1 rating?

Yes, the NEMA 1 and IP30 ratings apply to the enclosure itself; any conduit or cable entries you add must be sealed to maintain the same rating.

How do I confirm the 1/4-turn latch is properly secured after closing the cover?

Turn the latch with a screwdriver until the slot is horizontal; the cover should sit flush against the ANSI 61 polyester powder finish with no visible gap.
