Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the A12106DL part number to ensure the correct 12x10x6 inch dimensions and Type 12 rating. Confirm the material specification as mild steel with polyester powder paint. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting brackets and latch mechanisms if replacing older units. Check for any regional compliance requirements beyond UL 508A.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a steel enclosure with Type 12 ingress protection is required for indoor use. The removable hinge feature distinguishes it from standard hinged doors, facilitating easier installation in tight spaces. Consider the 16-gauge steel thickness for structural integrity. This unit is suitable for applications involving non-corrosive liquids and oil seepage but is not rated for washdown or outdoor exposure.
