Electrical Enclosure for Indoor Wiring

The HOFFMAN ASE8X8X6NK is a carbon-steel enclosure rated NEMA Type 1 and IP30 for indoor electrical installations. Its powder-coated gray finish resists corrosion while the solid screw-on cover secures with captive screws. Mounting holes allow direct wall attachment for junction or pull-box applications.

Upgrade from Unrated or Open Boxes

Replaces makeshift or non-listed boxes when code requires a cUL-listed enclosure per UL 50, 50E and CSA C22.2 No 40. The jump is worth it when inspectors demand documented compliance with IEC 60529 and NEMA/EEMAC Type 1 standards for personnel protection against solid objects.

Fits Standard Wall-Mount Builds

The 8-by-8-by-6-inch body with 12, 14 and 16 gauge steel accepts standard knockouts and terminal strips without modification. Screw-latch cover frees up tool time during maintenance while the solid cover prevents dust ingress. No ventilation or window features are included, so heat-sensitive devices need separate thermal planning.

Questions about this item

What wall-mounting hole pattern does the 8-inch high Hoffman enclosure use?

The carbon-steel box includes pre-drilled mounting holes on the back panel for direct wall attachment; hardware is not supplied.

Which step is most often missed when securing the screw-on cover?

Installers sometimes forget to engage all captive screws evenly, leaving a gap that reduces the IP30 rating.

How does the powder-coated finish hold up, and when should it be touched up?

The gray powder coat resists corrosion under normal indoor conditions; inspect annually and re-coat any scratched areas to maintain protection.
