HOFFMAN ASE16X16X6NK Wall-Mount Enclosure
The HOFFMAN ASE16X16X6NK is a NEMA 1 rated electrical box designed for indoor wall mounting. Its carbon steel construction with a powder-coated gray finish provides a 16.0 in by 16.0 in footprint at a 6.0 in depth. This enclosure suits installers who need a standard junction or pull box for general-purpose wiring in dry locations. It meets UL 50 and 50E listings along with cUL certification per CSA C 22.2 No 40.
12/14/16 ga Carbon Steel Build with Screw Cover
The enclosure body uses 12/14/16 ga carbon steel finished in gray powder coat for corrosion resistance in indoor environments. A solid cover attaches with screws and a screw-latch feature, creating an IP30 rated seal against solid objects. Pre-drilled mounting holes on the back simplify secure attachment to walls or structural supports. The screw-on closure method ensures the cover remains firmly seated during vibration or incidental contact.
Upgrade from Smaller or Non-Rated Junction Boxes
This unit replaces smaller enclosures when additional wiring volume or a higher gauge steel body is required for mechanical protection. The jump is worth it when a project demands a UL 50E listed enclosure with a 16.0 in square layout and 6.0 in depth to accommodate terminal blocks or splice density that exceed compact boxes. It does not serve applications requiring NEMA 3R, 4, or 12 environmental ratings for water, dust, or oil ingress protection.
