A1008CHS

Overview

The A1008CHS is a Type 12 indoor wall-mount junction box manufactured by nVent Hoffman. Constructed from mild steel with a polyester powder-coated finish in ANSI 61 gray, it measures 10 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth. The enclosure features a continuous hinge design paired with screw-down door clamps for secure closure. It holds UL 50/50E and cUL listings compliant with CSA C22.2 No 94 standards.

Feature Summary

• Continuous hinge mechanism allows for full door swing without removal
• Screw-down door clamps provide secure fastening and dust-tight sealing
• Polyester powder-coated steel construction offers corrosion resistance
• Molded layout grid assists with internal component mounting

Applications

• Indoor electrical panel installations requiring Type 12 protection
• Control systems exposed to falling non-conductive debris
• Industrial machinery housing sensitive electronic components
• Wet or dirty environments where dust ingress must be prevented

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the A1008CHS designation to ensure the correct steel material and continuous hinge configuration. Confirm that the application environment remains strictly indoor, as this unit is rated Type 12 rather than outdoor-rated NEMA 3R or 4X. Check for required UL 508A external mounting brackets if wall installation exceeds standard load requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when indoor dust and light water exposure protection is sufficient, eliminating the need for heavier aluminum or stainless steel options. The 4-inch depth accommodates standard terminal blocks and relays. Ensure the 10x8 inch footprint fits the available panel space. Consider the PolyPro plastic alternatives if chemical resistance or weight reduction is prioritized over steel durability.
