A10R84NK

Overview

The Hoffman A10R84NK is a Type 3R screw-cover junction box constructed from galvanized steel with a polyester powder-coated ANSI 61 gray finish. It measures 10 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth. The enclosure features a top drip shield and includes no knockouts. It holds UL 50/50E and CUL certifications for use in outdoor environments requiring protection against rain and sleet.

Feature Summary

• Type 3R rating provides protection against falling rain and sleet for outdoor installations
• Galvanized steel construction with polyester powder coating ensures corrosion resistance
• Integrated top drip shield directs water away from the enclosure opening
• Screw-cover design allows for secure access without specialized tools

Applications

• Outdoor wiring junction boxes
• Protection of electrical controls in wet environments
• Industrial equipment housing requiring rain protection

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a Type 3R rating rather than higher ingress protection standards. Confirm that the absence of knockouts meets installation needs or that field drilling is permitted. Ensure the ANSI 61 gray color matches existing infrastructure requirements. Check local code compliance for UL 50/50E and CUL listings before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor rain protection is necessary but submersion or dust tightness is not required. The 10x8x4 dimensions suit moderate wire counts. The screw-cover mechanism offers cost-effective access compared to hinged alternatives. Consider the lack of pre-drilled knockouts if conduit entry points are non-standard.

Part Context

This component belongs to the nVent Hoffman Type 3R series of commercial enclosures. These units are designed for general-purpose outdoor use where weather protection is critical. The series typically includes various sizes and cover types to accommodate different spatial and access requirements in industrial settings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Type 3R screw-cover enclosures with identical 10x8x4 dimensions and steel construction. Verify that replacement units maintain UL 50/50E certification and feature compatible mounting hole patterns.
