Compact Steel Enclosure
The HOFFMAN ASG6X6X6 is a six-inch cubic electrical box built from carbon steel with a galvanized grey finish. It carries a NEMA Type 1 and IP30 rating, making it suitable for indoor wall-mounted installations where basic protection against solid objects and contact is required. The screw-on solid cover uses captive screws so hardware cannot be lost during maintenance. Mounting holes are integrated for direct surface attachment.
Indoor Protection Limits
The NEMA Type 1 and IP30 ratings mean the enclosure guards against accidental contact and falling debris but does not resist water jets, oil, or corrosive atmospheres. Outdoor use, wash-down areas, or hazardous locations will exceed the certified protection level. The screw-latch closure provides a secure seal only when all captive screws are fully tightened to the manufacturer's specification. Carbon steel construction requires the galvanized finish to remain intact to prevent corrosion over time.
Upgrade From Open Wiring
This enclosure replaces exposed junction boxes or non-rated cabinets where code now demands a listed metallic box with a secured cover. The jump is worth it when an inspector requires UL 50 and 50E compliance with a cUL listing per CSA C 22.2 No 40. It is not for installers needing a larger wiring volume, a transparent cover for visual inspection, or a hinged door for frequent access without tools.
