Sloped Top Consolet Enclosure
The Hoffman C16C16 is a carbon steel electrical enclosure designed for industrial control and instrumentation mounting. It carries NEMA 12 and 13 ratings alongside an IP65 rating for protection against dust, dirt, and water jets. The sloped top consolet design suits pedestal or table mounting in manufacturing environments.
Environmental Limits of NEMA 12 13 and IP65
NEMA 12 and 13 ratings cover indoor protection against circulating dust, falling dirt, and dripping non-corrosive liquids. NEMA 13 adds protection against spraying oil and coolant. IP65 certifies dust-tight construction and resistance to low-pressure water jets from any direction. The neoprene gasket and captive screws maintain these seals during routine access.
Upgrade From Open Frame or Lower Rated Boxes
This enclosure replaces open-frame panels or boxes rated only for NEMA 1 when the installation faces coolant mist, wash-down procedures, or heavy particulate matter. The 14 gauge steel construction and ANSI 61 polyester powder finish add mechanical rigidity and corrosion resistance absent in lighter cabinets. The jump is worth it when equipment downtime from contamination exceeds the cost of a sealed, gasketed housing.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 16-inch height or the 11.09-inch depth as my primary size reference?
Both dimensions define the enclosure footprint; the 16-inch height sets the vertical space for components while the 11.09-inch depth determines how far the unit projects from the mounting surface.
What does the NEMA 12 and 13 rating mean once the box is installed?
The enclosure resists dust, fibres, dripping water and oil or coolant seepage, so internal components stay protected in typical industrial environments.
How does the IP65 rating limit what can enter the enclosure?
IP65 certifies total dust protection and resistance to low-pressure water jets from any direction, capping ingress to those levels in practice.
