Enclosure for Harsh Environments
The Wiegmann HW-P80804CHQR is a non-metallic enclosure built for indoor and outdoor installations that demand protection from water, dust and corrosion. Its opaque polycarbonate body carries NEMA 12, 3R, 4 and 4X ratings plus IP 66 and 68 certification. Electrical contractors and facility managers specify it where metal enclosures would degrade.
Polycarbonate Build Simplifies Installation
The solid hinged cover secures with a padlockable hasp, quick-release latches and screws, allowing tool-free access for inspection while maintaining a sealed barrier. Polycarbonate construction eliminates grounding requirements tied to metallic boxes and reduces weight for single-person mounting. UL and cUL listing confirms code compliance for the completed assembly.
Sealed Performance Under Continuous Exposure
Gasketed sealing maintains IP 66 and 68 integrity during prolonged spray, temporary submersion and temperature cycling. The opaque finish shields internal components from UV degradation without relying on painted surfaces that can chip. Hinged cover alignment remains consistent after repeated opening cycles, preserving the environmental seal over the enclosure service life.
