HOFFMAN ASE18X18X8NK enclosure

The HOFFMAN ASE18X18X8NK is a carbon-steel electrical enclosure rated NEMA Type 1 and IP30 for indoor protection against solid objects. It measures 18 in height, 18 in width and 8 in depth with a solid cover secured by captive screws. The powder-coated gray finish resists corrosion in dry environments.

Upgrade from open wiring or smaller boxes

This enclosure replaces exposed terminal strips or undersized junction boxes when a project demands a cUL-listed, wall-mountable housing that meets UL 50, 50E and IEC 60529. The jump is worth it when local code requires a rated enclosure with mounting holes and a screw-latch cover for secure access.

Suits indoor commercial

Installers running conduit or cable trays in dry, non-hazardous areas will find the 12/14/16 ga steel and standard A90P1 footprint familiar and compliant. Buyers who need outdoor-rated protection, transparent covers or larger internal volume should look at other enclosures.

Questions about this item

What wall-mount hardware fits the enclosure's mounting holes?

The carbon-steel body has pre-drilled mounting holes for direct wall attachment; use fasteners rated for the enclosure weight and wall material.

How do the captive screws on the cover install, and what mistake should I avoid?

Turn each captive screw until the cover seats evenly; over-tightening can strip the threads or warp the powder-coated flange.

Will the powder-coated gray finish need touch-up or corrosion protection later?

The powder coating resists rust under normal indoor conditions; inspect annually and repair any chips with matching enamel to maintain the NEMA Type 1 rating.
