A10104GSC

Overview

The A10104GSC is a screw-cover, gasketed enclosure manufactured by nVent Hoffman. Constructed from steel with a galvanized and zinc-rich ANSI 61 powder-coated finish, it measures 10 inches in length, 10 inches in width, and 4 inches in height (254mm x 254mm x 102mm). The unit features continuously welded and ground smooth seams to ensure structural integrity and environmental resistance. It holds UL 508A, CUL, and CSA C22.2 approvals, classifying it as Type 3 for indoor use against windblown dust and rain.

Feature Summary

• Features captivated stainless steel cover screws that thread into sealed wells to prevent loss.
• Utilizes an oil-resistant gasket and adhesive system for enhanced sealing performance.
• Constructed with continuously welded and ground smooth seams to eliminate entry points.
• Includes no holes or openings in the main body structure to maintain environmental protection.

Applications

• Wiring enclosures in environments subject to windblown dust
• Junction boxes exposed to rain conditions
• Pull boxes requiring Type 3 protection
• Terminal boxes in indoor industrial settings

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific finish requirements match the galvanized and zinc-rich ANSI 61 powder coating specification. Confirm dimensional constraints align with the 10x10x4 inch footprint. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the Type 3 rating limits. Check for necessary accessories such as mounting hardware or internal rails, which are typically sold separately. Validate that the steel construction meets local corrosion resistance standards for the intended installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when indoor protection against windblown dust and rain is required without the need for watertight submersion ratings. The Type 3 classification makes it suitable for general industrial indoor areas where weather exposure is possible but not severe. Consider the steel material and painted finish for cost-effective durability compared to stainless steel alternatives. Ensure the 10x10x4 inch volume provides adequate space for the intended wiring or component density.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman line of standard industrial enclosures designed for electrical protection. It is part of a broader family of screw-cover units offering various sizes and materials. The product is engineered to meet North American safety standards including UL and CSA certifications. It serves as a fundamental protective housing for electrical systems in commercial and industrial facilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Type 3 screw-cover enclosures of identical dimensions from the same manufacturer. Verify compatibility with existing mounting configurations and cable entry points if replacing non-Hoffman brands. Ensure the replacement maintains the same IP/NEMA rating and material specifications for equivalent performance.
