Electrical Enclosure for Indoor Wiring

This NVENT HOFFMAN enclosure provides a NEMA Type 1 rated housing for indoor electrical connections. The carbon steel body with galvanized finish protects wire splices and junction points in dry locations. Mounting holes allow direct wall attachment for residential or light commercial installations. The solid cover secures with captive screws to prevent lost hardware.

NEMA Type 1 and IP30 Rating Decides Suitability

The single specification that determines fit is the NEMA Type 1 and IP30 rating, which limits use to indoor, non-hazardous environments where falling dirt is the primary concern. It is not rated for water, oil, dust, or outdoor exposure. Buyers needing wash-down, corrosion-resistant, or outdoor protection must select a different NEMA type.

Captive Screw Cover Simplifies Installation

The screw-on cover uses captive screws that stay attached to the lid, reducing dropped parts during wiring. Standard hand tools tighten the latches to secure the solid cover. The 12, 14, 16 gauge steel requires appropriate drill bits for field knockouts. Installers should verify conduit alignment before mounting to avoid rework.
