• Junction box installations
• Control equipment safeguarding against rain and sleet

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific NEMA rating requirements match Type 3R or NEMA 3R specifications before procurement. Confirm that the absence of knockouts aligns with cable entry needs. Ensure the ANSI 61 gray color meets facility aesthetic standards. Check for compatibility with required mounting hardware not included in the standard package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when outdoor weather protection against precipitation is required but oil or dust tightness is not necessary. Compare dimensions to ensure fit within the designated installation space. Consider the steel material durability against local environmental conditions. Verify that the screw-cover mechanism allows adequate access for maintenance compared to hinged alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hoffman Commercial Enclosure series, specifically the Type 3R category. It shares design characteristics with other models like the A12N104 but differs in its weather-resistant coating and structural integrity for outdoor use. The product line focuses on providing basic functionality for control protection in varied environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include models such as A12N104 for indoor use or A12R106HCR for larger capacity. Verify dimensional compatibility and mounting hole patterns when swapping between similar series enclosures to ensure seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
