Enclosure dimensions and ratings

This NVENT HOFFMAN electrical enclosure measures 12 inches high, 12 inches wide and 8 inches deep. It is constructed from carbon steel with a powder-coated gray finish and carries NEMA Type 1 and IP30 ratings. The cover attaches with captive screws and includes a screw latch. Mounting holes are provided for wall installation.

Indoor protection for electrical components

The enclosure suits installers who need a solid, screw-secured box for indoor wiring, junction or instrumentation applications. It is not intended for environments that require protection against water, dust ingress finer than IP30, or outdoor exposure.

Captive-screw cover closure

The cover is secured by captive screws with a screw latch, so no separate fasteners can be lost during maintenance. This closure method determines whether the enclosure matches your access and security requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 12 in H x 12 in W enclosure to a wall, and what step is often missed?

Use the pre-drilled mounting holes on the back of the carbon steel body; the step often missed is ensuring the wall surface is flat so the NEMA Type 1 seal remains effective.

What maintenance will the powder-coated finish and captive screw latches need over time?

Inspect the gray powder coating for scratches that could expose the 12/14/16 ga carbon steel to corrosion, and verify the screw latches still close firmly to maintain the IP30 rating.

Which environmental limit will be reached first if the enclosure is used in a dusty, wet area?

The IP30 and NEMA Type 1 ratings only protect against solid objects and vertical dripping water; dust ingress or splashing water will exceed the rated protection first.
